Godwin Odiko's EPL MD 19 expert predictions

 

The Premier League games are beginning to come thick and fast. So it's going to take strong resolve for teams to scale through this period. So which team will scale through the boxing day challenge? Read on to find out...


Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest

Newcastle lost to lowly-rated Luton Town last time out. So they will be desperate to bounce back and return to winning ways. This game is also Newcastle's last game of the year 2023 so they will be looking to end the year on a winning note. However, Luton Town won't be an easy nut to crack but I think Newcastle has got what it takes to snatch all three points in front of their home fans.

Godwin Odiko's correct score prediction: Newcastle 1-0 Luton Town



Bournemouth vs Fulham

Bournemouth are currently in form at the moment and were 2-1 winners in this same fixture last season. In fact, Bournemouth has dominated this fixture in previous years as they haven't lost to Fulham in their last four encounters. So I am going to bank on Bournemouth to come out of this clash with something.

Godwin Odiko's correct score prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Fulham



Sheffield United vs Luton Town

Luton Town really surprised me last weekend when they defeat Newcastle. Sheffield United also surprised me by going to Aston Villa to earn a draw. So I really think this is going to be a difficult match for both sides. These two teams have drawn twice in their last four meetings. So I am going to bank on this game to end in a draw.

Godwin Odiko's correct score prediction: Sheffield United 1-1 Luton Town




Burnley vs Liverpool

I thought Burnley really surprised everyone with their win away from home at Fulham last time out. The Vincent Kompany led team will be looking to build on that win here. But I think they will find life difficult on Boxing Day against an in form Liverpool team. Liverpool have won the last three matches between them two. And if Liverpool really want to pursue the title this season then they need to win this game by all means. So I am going for a Liverpool win here.

Godwin Odiko's correct score prediction: Burnley 1-2 Liverpool




Manchester United vs Aston Villa

This is going to be a very interesting match for both fans and neutrals. I expect it to be an end-to-end stuff on Boxing Day night. But Manchester United are really struggling at the moment and Aston Villa will be looking to capitalize. If Erik Ten Hag really wants to keep his job beyond this season then he needs to devise a way to return Manchester United to winning ways beginning from this game. However, I see this game ending in a draw.

Godwin Odiko's correct score prediction: Manchester United 1-1 Aston Villa




Chelsea vs Crystal Palace

The last time Chelsea played against Crystal Palace and did not win was in 2017. So it means Chelsea despite their poor form are still the favourites here. Crystal Palace are also struggling so it's not going to be an easy game for both teams. But I think Chelsea playing at home should be an advantage here. So I am going bank on the Blues to win here.

Godwin Odiko's correct score prediction: Chelsea 1-0 Crystal Palace




Brentford vs Wolves

Wolves have won two out of the last three league meetings between these two. And looking at how poor Brentford have been in recent games, I think Wolves will come out of this game with something.

Godwin Odiko's correct score prediction: Brentford 1-2 Wolves




Everton vs Manchester City

Manchester City fresh from clinching the FIFA Club World Cup will be looking to continue on that winning note here. Pep Guardiola's side have really dominated this fixture and I see them getting all three points in this one. 

Godwin Odiko's correct score prediction: Everton 0-2 Manchester City



Brighton vs Tottenham

Tottenham seem to have bounced back after a period of poor form. They will be looking to continue in their current vein of form here. For Brighton, they have looked very inconsistent; you really can't tell the kind of Brighton side that will show up on a matchday. However, I think Tottenham should be able to win or draw in this one.

Godwin Odiko's correct score prediction: Brighton 1-1 Tottenham



Arsenal vs West Ham

This is going to be a very entertaining match. Arsenal will be looking to get all three points in this one to maintain their lead on the log. However, West Ham are a very difficult side to defeat so Arsenal have to be on top of their game to be able to win this one. I am going to tip Arsenal to win at home here albeit it's going to be a slim win.

Godwin Odiko's correct score prediction: Arsenal 2-1 West Ham
