Table of Expert’s Football Picks for the New Year

Best Five Picks For 1st January 2022 With Reasons

1. Manchester City hoping to extend their winning to 11th against Arsenal.

Manchester City have a perfect football record against Arsenal as they have beaten Arsenal in their last six meetings (Head to Head). Currently, Both Arsenal and Manchester City are in very fine form. However, Manchester City are doing marvelously well for themselves and are in better form than Arsenal as they have won their last ten matches. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has tested positive for COVID-19. All Tomiyasu, Chambers, Maitland-Niles, and Cedric have contracted coronavirus and will miss this match while Aubameyang remains suspended by the head coach.

Best tip: Manchester City to win.
Value tip: Both teams to score goals and over 2.5 goals.

2. Tottenham are expected to cause more problems for Watford.

Watford are just 2 points above the relegation zone and have not been able to win any match ever since they beat Manchester United. As a matter of fact, they are on a five-match losing streak. The coach is facing huge pressure and it seems as though he has run out of ideas for winning matches. Tom Cleverley have returned to the squad after recovering from injury while Danny Rose and Kiko Femenia are injured.

Tottenham on the other hand are in decent form as they have won 4 of their last 6 matches. However, their away form is very poor. Be that as it may, they are still better than Watford in performance. Steven Bergwijn has been sidelined alongside Ryan Sessegnon and Cristian Romero. Watford has been scoring and conceiving a lot of goals. My tips and predictions are

Best tip: Tottenham to win either half
Value tip: Both teams to score.

3. Both Crystal Palace and West Ham should find the back of the net. Over 2.5 goals may come on board as well.

Crystal Palace were inconsistent and unpredictable. However, they are playing an attacking football style, especially at home. They will be welcoming a fellow attacking-minded team, West Ham, at Selhurst Park. They have won only two matches from their last six matches and winning this one will cross them over to the top 10 at the league table. Wilfried Zaha is back from suspension and will feature in this match before leaving for AFCON. Cheikhou Kouyate, Jordan Ayew, and Jeffrey Schlupp will also travel for AFCON after this match.

West Ham have also struggled recently and have managed to win only two matches in their last 6 matches. They are attacking-minded as they are scoring and conceiving. Their form dropped and it’s unclear who will be the winner of this match. Angelo Ogbonna, Kurt Zouma, and Aaron Cresswell will miss this match again due to injury while Declan Rice returns to the squad. Both teams have scored in all their last 6 meetings. Below are my tips and predictions for this match

Best tip: Both teams to score over 2.5 goals
Value tip: Both teams to score.

4. Rotherham will get back to winning ways against Bolton Wanderers in Ligue 1.

Rotherham will be highly motivated to win this match. They are 2 points behind Sunderland who are the league leaders and they will top the league table if they win this match. They have won 4 of their last 6football games. Angus MacDonald is the only missing player here. They will be looking forward to starting their new year with a comfortable win.

Bolton Wanderers are appearing to be the shadow of themselves. They are struggling and their performances are inconsistent. They are back to action for the first time since December 11th and only have a small number of senior players available after the squad suffered a Covid-19 outbreak. Moreover, they have lost their last 6 away matches while Rotherham have won 5 of their last 6 home matches.

Best tip: Rotherham to win
Value tip: Rotherham to win and over 2.5 goals.

5. Linfield to trash Dungannon Swifts away from home in Northern Ireland league.

Linfield are the league leaders and they are sharing the same point with Glentoran who are 2nd in position. They will be highly motivated to win this match to have a 3-point advantage over Glentoran Moreover, they have beaten Dungannon in 5 of their last 6 meetings. They too will also start their new year party with a win.

The last 4 matches for Dungannon have been very poor. They have suffered three losses and one draw. Tonight, they will face another uphill task against a desperate Linfield and will definitely get thrashed in my opinion.

Best tip: Linfield to win
Value tip: Linfield to win and over 2.5 goals.
