Sunday, December 26, 4pm: Manchester City – Leicester City
This squatter between the reigning national champion and the Foxes is the Match of the Week Bee BetCity. That is why there is a € 5 Free Bet especially for this duel. How can you get these? You can read that here.

The Citizens are in excellent form and are leading the Premier League. For the visitors from Leicester, manager Pep Guardiola’s team need not fear: 8 of the last 10 encounters between them have been converted into a victory. Earlier this season, City was still 0-1 too strong due to a goal from Bernardo Silva. A goal from the Portuguese on Sunday is at an odd of 2.55 at BetCity!

On Boxing Day, Manchester City almost always perform well at home. Of the last 8 games on this day, 6 were turned into a win and 2 into a draw. Leicester, on the other hand, tends to have a harder time on Boxing Day, losing 8 of their last 11 games. Only 1 win in this series, but against Manchester City in the 2018/19 season (2-1).

Riyad Mahrez, Romelu Lukaku and Harry Kane score: boosted odd 14.00

Sunday, December 26, 4pm: Tottenham Hotspur – Crystal Palace
Tottenham provide good statistics on Boxing Day: 14 times in a row they have not lost on this day (11 wins, 3 draws). In this London derby, Antonio Conte’s team meets an opponent who is on target. Crystal Palace have scored 7 times in the last 3 London derbies, that’s as many as in the previous 10 derbies! The eyes at Tottenham are of course on Harry Kane! Do you think the English striker will score? A goal from the Spurs forward is good for an odd of 2.02 at BetCity!

West Ham United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotsur win: boosted odd 5.25

Sunday 26 December 6.30pm: Aston Villa – Chelsea
Aston Villa won its last 3 games on Boxing Day, while last season was 2-1 too strong for Chelsea in the home game. Judging by these statistics, manager Steven Gerrard’s team will start with confidence. Chelsea does not have good recent memories of Boxing Day: the last 2 matches on this day have been lost. The last time Chelsea lost 3 games in a row on Boxing Day was between 1912 and 1914.

Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City win by 2 goals or more: boosted odd 16.00
