The matches set to be played on Boxing Day and the following Monday are now available to view with their odds and ratings. A few fixtures have already succumbed to the virus so we'll see how many more are left standing come Sunday. For the time being, feel free to post your predictions for these games down below! 

[ALEXXXXXXXX]

Huddersfield Town

They do not play well in the Tournament after they degraded from EPL. Now they rank the tenth in the table. In last game, they defeat Bristol City at 3-2. There are only three points separating them from the sixth. Undoubtedly they are full of ambitions now.

 

Blackpool

They are the newly-promoted this season. Their goal of this season is to avoid relegation. Now they are the thirteenth in the table. They reach their goal. They have been winless for seven matches until they win over Peterborough United at 3-1.

 

Verdict:

The last time they met was in this season. Huddersfield Town got a 0-3 clean sheet from Blackpool at that time. And Huddersfield Town have home advantage. It is predicted that Huddersfield Town will take one point from Blackpool at least in upcoming game.

 

Prediction: 1-0, 1-1, 0-0

Hull City vs Blackburn Rovers

Kick Off: 12/26/2021 11:00

 

Hull City

Hull City saw their unbeaten record of six consecutive games end the same afternoon when they lost 2-1 in Nottingham Forest. This setback is likely to stop Hull City's momentum as they try to stay away from the bottom three.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers made a 4-0 success over Birmingham City last time out. Tony Mowbray's side have won five consecutive victories without concede so far and have scored 12 goals in the process. In the 7-0 home defeat to Fulham on November 3, it was a great change, which put Rovers on the edge of second place in the table.

 

Prediction

Although Hull have been in good shape recently, we cannot ignore the uncertainty surrounding coronavirus cases. With this in mind, Rangers naturally become the most popular team and should have enough quality to win a relatively easy victory.

 

 

1X2 Pick: 2

Final Results: 0-1, 0-2

Middlesbrough vs Nottingham Forest

Kick Off: 12/26/2021 11:00

 

Middlesbrough

Since arriving at Riverside Stadium, Chris Wilder has got 11 points out of 18 possible points, bringing the club close to the top six. The team are unbeaten in four rounds and beat Bournemouth 1-0 last weekend.

Nottingham Forest

The Forest have accumulated the most points in any team in the division in recent times, and their only defeat coming from the leader Fulham. The 2-1 victory over Hull City last weekend gave them their ninth victory, changing from a demoted candidate to a qualified competitor in 15 games.

 

Prediction

With the opportunity to get into the playoffs, there was pressure on both sides before the game. This may be beneficial for tourists. We think the Forest should have an advantage in the game in the Northeast.

 

 

1X2 Pick: X2

Final Results: 1-1, 1-2

Queens Park Rangers (QPR) vs Bournemouth AFC

Kick Off: 12/27/2021 13:30

 

Queens Park Rangers (QPR)

After losing 0-2 to Stoke City at home last time out, QPR's record of three consecutive victories and six consecutive unbeaten games was ended. The team currently rank fifth in the table, the same as Stoke City in the last playoff seat, with 35 points. A major factor in their success so far is that they have the best offensive record in the division for 33 goals.

Bournemouth AFC

Bournemouth lost 1-0 to Middlesbrough last time out. Parker's side didn't taste win of their last six games. This decline is largely due to their recent defensive weakness. They have lost 10 goals since the victory over Swansea City. The team currently second after 43 points in 23 games and may be first in Monday's victory because they are two points behind league leader Fulham.

 

Prediction

The QPR will enter Monday's game in good shape and hope to quickly return to the road of victory. However, Bournemouth created the best away record of the department this season with 6W-4D-2L in 12 games. We expect Bournemouth can bring something home.

 

 

1X2 Pick: X2

Final Results: 1-1, 1-2

 Derby County vs West Bromwich(WBA)

Kick Off: 12/27/2021 11:00

 

Derby County

After three consecutive league defeats, Plange’s only goal allowed the Derby to take three points at home against Blackpool last time out. In the past

five league matches, the club have accumulated 7 points (including defeating second-placed Bournemouth), 17 points behind 21st-placed Reading.

West Bromwich(WBA)

The recent loss of points has left West Bromwich behind in the four Marseille games for two automatic places in the Premier League. Disappointingly, the team have won only a few of the last seven league games and only make a goalless draw in Barnsley's home last weekend. The club have accumulated 9 points in the last five games, ranking fourth in the league and 4 points behind the league leader Fulham.

 

Prediction

In this game, it is difficult for Derby County to score against West Bromwich Albion who we think they will score at least once to gain the upper hand.

 

 

Derby County to win +1 in AH

Total: Under 2.5 goals

Sheffield United vs Hull City

Kick Off: 12/29/2021 15:45

 

Sheffield United

With 32 points, Sheffield United recent form has seen them rise to 11th in the Championship table. Of the 22 games played, they won on 9 games while drawing on 5 and losing on 8 other occasions. Sheffield United continued their fine string of performances as they claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Fulham last Monday. They have kept 4 clean sheets in the last 5 games, conceding 2 goals during the period.

Hull City

Following four successive victories, Hull City are now winless in their last three and lost for the first time in seven matches against Nottingham Forest last time out. With 23 points from 23 games, Hull City are currently 19th on the log, four points above Peterborough United in the final relegation spot. They have scored 20 in total while conceding a sum of 28 so far in the league.

 

 

Prediction

Hull City are likely to be missing multiple players through Covid-19. Predict Sheffield United to extend their dominance over the visitors and claim all three points in this one.

 

1X2 Pick: 1
