Football matches in December

EPL Football Predictions

Manchester United vs Chelsea

Date: Wednesday, December 6

Time: 20.15 G.M.T

Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester, England.

• Manchester United will be looking to return to winning ways after falling to Newcastle away from home in their last game. United is struggling to find form this season, as they have had many ups and downs. Erik Ten Hag’s side just can’t stay consistent. Their season struggles are highlighted by their current situation in the Champions League, as their next UCL game determines their future in the competition.

• On the other hand, Chelsea will have their morale boosted heading into this game as they are coming off a 3-2 victory over a short-handed Brighton side in their last game. In the middle of a rebuild, the Blues are beginning to see the signs of what’s to come under the Argentine Manager Mauricio Pochettino. This game will be another classic United and Chelsea game, as both teams want to make a statement.

Pick: Both teams to score

Aston Villa vs Manchester City

Date: Wednesday, December 6

Time: 20.15 G.M.T

Venue: Villa Park, Aston, Birmingham, England.

• Aston Villa under Unai Emery has been a revelation! The Spaniard has turned things around massively at Villa Park, and there’s a fresh breath of hope that it’s greater heights for the team from now on. They are currently fourth in the League, and they can even be said to have a chance at the title, given their level of performance this season.

• Manchester City have been struggling lately in the Premier League. They have drawn their last three games in the Premier League against Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham. Guardiola’s City is now third in the league, three points behind league leaders Arsenal. City will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League against Villa.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United

Date: Sunday, December 10

Time: 14:30 G.M.T

Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, North London, England.

• Since losing to Chelsea, Tottenham has been struggling; their draw against City to stop their losing streak was a beam of hope for them to turn things around. Tottenham faces another test against the energetic Newcastle side, and this match is bound to be intensive with many goal-scoring actions.

Pick: Over 2.5 goals

Liverpool vs Manchester United

Date: Sunday, December 17

Time: 16:30 G.M.T

Venue: Anfield, Liverpool, England.

• Liverpool has been on fire this season, and they look like legitimate title contenders alongside Arsenal and reigning champion Manchester City. Liverpool will be looking to claim all three points in this game. This will be a blockbuster match, as Liverpool is known to thrive against the top clubs in the league.

• Manchester United will have to perform a monstrous performance to get past an in-form Liverpool side in this game. United, prior to this game, had a hectic run of fixtures, facing Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and then Liverpool. This will be a test of their strength.

Pick: Liverpool to win.

Liverpool vs Arsenal

Date: Saturday, December 23

Time: 17:30 G.M.T

Venue: Anfield, Liverpool, England.

• This match will be a big decider of the current title fight between Arsenal and Liverpool as the winner will likely go top of the league, depending on their results before this game. The teams are equally matched, and it’s a kind of match that will likely end in a stalemate. Backing a draw here seems like the best prediction.

UEFA Champions League upcoming matches prediction

Newcastle United vs AC Milan

Date: Wednesday, December 13

Time: 20.00 G.M.T

Venue: St James Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

• Newcastle is in danger of not moving to round sixteen of the Champions League if they fail to get all three points against AC Milan. They are third in Group F, with five points from five games. They have only won once and recorded two losses and two draws. They need to win and ensure PSG loses their last game to progress to the knockout round.

• AC Milan have had a horror show in the UEFA Champions League this season. They are level points with Newcastle with five points each and also need a win to have a chance to progress to round 16 or the Europa League. They have won their last two league games.

Pick: Newcastle to win.

Borussia Dortmund vs Paris Saint-Germain

Date: Wednesday, December 13

Time: 20.00 G.M.T

Venue: Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund, Germany.

Borussia Dortmund has been outstanding in the UEFA Champions League this season. They are first in the group of death, a huge surprise to the football world! In a group that had PSG, Milan, and Newcastle, the European Giants qualified, and their last game will make little or no difference to their chances in round sixteen.

Paris Saint-Germain needs a win here to seal their spot in round sixteen! A loss to Dortmund might mean them heading to the Europa League if either AC Milan or Newcastle wins. PSG will do their best to get a win here, and we believe they can do enough to edge out a Dortmund side that has already qualified here.

Pick: Paris Saint-Germain to win

Manchester United vs Bayern Munich

Date: Wednesday, December 6

Time: 20.15 G.M.T

Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester, England.

• Manchester United is in a desperate position here and will be looking for three points against the most lethal team in the group, Bayern Munich. United will come into this game off an EPL game against Chelsea, and hopefully, they won’t get drained before this game. They will have to field their best players against Bayern.

• Bayern has already sealed their qualification with four wins and a draw to accrue 13 points to top Group A. They don’t have much to play for here, but the Bavarians take every game seriously, and we don’t think they will go easy on Manchester United in this game. Both teams are tipped to score here.

Pick: Both teams to score

Serie A upcoming matches

Juventus vs Napoli

Date: Friday, December 8

Time: 19.45 G.M.T

Venue: Allianz Stadium, Turin, Italy.

• This is a battle of the giants of the Serie A! Juventus has been impressive this season and is second in the Serie A, two points behind league leaders Inter Milan. Juventus, heading into this game, has won four of their last five league games and will be looking to continue their strong run against Napoli.

• Current Serie A champion Napoli is struggling immensely this season. They are fifth in Serie A, 11 points behind the league leaders. Amidst managerial changes, they have yet to find their footing this season. They are a huge underdog heading into this game.

Pick: Juventus to win

Roma vs Napoli

Date: Saturday, December 23

Time: 19.45 G.M.T

Venue: Stadio Olimpico Tour, Rome, Italy.

Roma have turned things around since a slow start to the season and will be going up against a struggling Napoli team. Expect an intense, low-scoring game here, as Jose Mourinho is known for employing a low block when playing big teams. It will be an exhibition of defensive prowess and huge dependence on counter-attacking football.

Pick: Under 2.5 goals
