The recent handballs of Van Dijk and O’Brien as well as the late self-destruct in defence by the Chelsea globetrotters on Saturday will inform what football bets I entertain in ‘26. One final chance in ‘25!
Magpies score at Burnley
Irons v Seagulls Over 2.5
Red Devils bag 2 v the Wolves
7/4 Treble Chance!
Those last night ManU 2nd half subs show why these double fixture games need to be minimum stakes!
Bees v Cherries BTTS
Hammers to score v the Cottagers
Leinster -5 H/c Win at Munster
3/1 + Treble Chance!
Cherries as good in attack as they are bad in defence at times
Irons may be better at sighting goal in that Olympic stadium of theirsLeinster were lacklustre last week before the subs came on – thought Munster would get more than a 5pt start. Still I’ll take Leinster to beat H/c – think though 2nd half highest scoring online bet is a better bet with visitors long season game!
Red Devils Win v Magpies
Chelsea put 2 in the Villains’ net
3/1 + Double Chance!
Couldn’t be but impressed by Utd’s esprit de corps against Villa – almost like they were sending a message in Mbeumo’s absence!
May even overcome Fernandez’s absence tonightVilla got a right physical examination v Utd and have Arsenal midweek! Chelsea will surely take advantage!
Hoping Lady Luck shines on me a little more in ‘26
On a line through Leeds Forest should nick this one but Fulham should create plenty of chances. Gun to the head and its BTTS and Over 2.5 for a 11/10 Coin Toss bet!
Doubt if Utd midfield have the personal and collective character to contain Villa especially in 2nd half. Difficult venue to adjust without Mbeumo and Vialli
-1 H/c Villa win or Villa score both halves look most likely outcomes for me
9/4 + about Chelsea scoring two in the 2nd half not to be snuffed at
Problem with Magpie Huff & Puff football is that they often run out of puff!
Need the Gunners and Pensioners to enter the festive spirit to land this Acca!
Magpies score v Chelsea
Pool score at Spurs
Toffees score v Gunners
Villains to put two in the United net
3/1 – 100/30 Acca Chance!
Not much to ask for Santa!
Brian O’Connor contributes more than tuppence ha’penny to this topic in today’s Irish Times Horseracing section
Magpies H/T F/T my preferred bet
Hosts seem like a first half team that can stretch the Cottagers – visitors should be more concerned with a dog fight with the Irons for the 3rd berth!I’ll go for the Man U Win and Over 3.5 goals @ 11/4
Cherries haven’t been playing much quality since being soundly beaten by Villa & Citeh – Chelsea doesn’t count!
Never mind Befair! You wonder how they managed to get to the final at all after that first half. Didn’t deserve extra time. Kilcoo means Church of the mourning for a reason
11/4 + TV Treble Chance!
Chelsea Win v Everton
Liverpool v Brighton Under 4.5
Kilcoo -1 Win v Scotstown (Ulster GAA)
Can’t believe arguably the least in your face team in the Pl will take a point at the most in your face team on their home patch. Maybe they’ll put an offer in for Barry!
Pool I’m guessing more interested in systems than scoring sprees. Anything other than 3 pts will feel like cold porridge after the Italian job
Pure gamble the winning muscle memory of Kilcoo can overcome the young Pretenders of Scotstown. Right Befair!
Both teams stretching each other beyond their comfort zones – would be surprised if fatigue doesn’t yield up a couple of goals in 2nd 45. Not giving up just yet!
Thanks Befair, not putting me off them anyway!
Two improving attacking sides who should feature in the playoffs. Looks like a BTTS & > 2.5 match but I’ll take a Baggy win & BTTS @ 7/2 + for the interest!
Grant Score/Assist looks a good shortie
