My Best Five Predictions and Analysis
1. Manchester United will cause more problems for Newcastle United
Manchester United have won Newcastle United in 5 of their last 6 previous meetings. This shows how dominant the red devils are to Newcastle United. Ever since the former coach Ole Gunner Solskjaer was sacked, Manchester United has gone back to winning ways. They have won three straight matches and will be keen to extend their wins to 4th against a struggling Newcastle United side. Eddie Howe the new Newcastle United manager is now facing pressure to get a win so I think they should be able to score as well.
My Prediction: Manchester United will win. Both teams to score over 2.5 goals is also a good bet as they have repeated this scoreline in their last 4 meetings.
2. West Brom to get a narrow win against Derby County.
West Brom are sitting at 4th position in the Championship even though they are not consistent. Winning this match will put them in 2nd position. If that happens, they will have only one point different from Fulham who are the league leaders thereby keeping their hope of the Championship title alive. Derby County are still struggling to get out of the relegation zone but unfortunately, they have a list of absentees due to injury and Covid 19 infection. West Brom will take advantage of that and win. However, drawing is also possible.
My Pick: West Brom to win either half
3. Anderlecht to heap more misery on Beerschot Wilrijk.
Anderlecht have beaten Beerschot Wilrijk in 5 of their last 6 meetings. They have also won four straight matches before being held to a draw away from home by Club Brugge. Nevertheless, they will be very hopeful of going back to winning ways as they battle it out against a struggling newly promoted Beerschot Wilrijk. Life has been difficult for Beerschot as they have failed to adapt to the new and more professional league. They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches and I believe they will also lose this boxing day 2.
My Prediction: Anderlecht will win
4. Both Portadown and Glenavon to score goals in Northern Ireland
Portadown have been scoring and conceiving goals lately. As a matter of fact, they have conceived more than they have scored. Their defense seems not to be organized. However, they won their last match against Warrenpoint Town after 11 matches winless run. This will boost their motivation to win again tonight. Glenavon are in a better form than Portadown. They have won 4 of their last 6 matches and will want to win again knowing how bad the home team performs. Both teams have scored over 2.5 goals produced in 5 of their last 6 previous meetings and going with my predictions, I am very sure one of these two picks will happen again tonight.
My Verdict: Both teams to score over 2.5 goals
5. Vipers to get a narrow victory against UPDF in Uganda.
Surprisingly, Greenpredict chooses to include the Vipers match here because of their recent performances. They have won four of their last six matches. Secondly, if they win tonight, they will climb to the first position at the league table should KCC Kampala lose their game. UPDF FC have not been able to win any of their last 3 matches and they will be playing against the team that have won them three times in 3 of their last 4 previous meetings on this boxing day 2
Greenpredict prediction – Vipers to win
In Summary,
- Manchester United will beat Newcastle united
- West Brom will win either half against Derby County.
- Anderlecht will get another win against Beerschot Wilrijk.
- Either both teams scoring or over 2.5 goals is expected in Portadown vs Glenavon match.
- Vipers to beat UPDF again.
