Brentford vs Nottingham Forest - Home Win?
Details: Saturday, 21st December, 3.00 pm, Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford has shown dramatic contrasts this season, with their home form excelling, boasting a perfect 7 wins and only one draw. However, on the road, their performance has been far from impressive with 8 losses out of their 8 away games. In their most recent defeat at Stamford Bridge, they fought impressively, hitting the bar and creating chances until the bitter end. But they'll be back on home turf this weekend, aiming to continue their impressive form.
Nottingham Forest's journey has been markedly different, with 19 wins out of their 38 games in total, placing them 4th in the Premier League with 60 points. Yet, the question remains - will their strong performance translate when they travel to Brentford?
Their recent encounter in May 2025 ended in a 2-0 win for Brentford, and history shows a trend of close matches between these two teams, with three draws in their last six encounters. With both teams displaying striking attackers, there's a high likelihood of goals in this game, but will Brentford's home comforts be enough to swing the odds in their favor?

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal - Away Win?
Details: Saturday, 21st December, 5.30 pm, Selhurst Park
Things are looking promising for both Crystal Palace and Arsenal, each showing steady improvement in their respective performances. The Palm Tree Shakers secured a crucial victory against their fierce rivals Brighton in their last outing, demonstrating their potential on the counterattack. On the other hand, The Gunners have faced some challenges, with a string of draws and a shortage of goals from open play.
Despite Arsenal’s struggles, they possess a wealth of attacking talent and need a win to gain ground on Liverpool. A look back at their recent cup win against Palace might give them an edge, as they'll be hoping to replicate that performance.
