Football Accumulator Tips: 17/1 Boxing Day Bet Builder

Burnley against Everton is the latest match to be postponed in the Premier League on Boxing Day, with six games still set to go ahead. Fresh off a 25/1 winner on Wednesday evening, we’ve once again tasked @AnthonyEadson to provide us with his best Bet Builder tips for the Premier League.

Two selections have caught his eye on Boxing Day which both come from the London stadium where West Ham host Southampton. At the time of writing the double pays best with Betfair and Paddy Power at just a shade below 17/1 and can be backed by clicking the link below.

It was nice to rattle home a 25/1 winner three days before Christmas and I’ll be hoping the winners continue to roll in over the festive season. The first half of Boxing Day’s Bet Builder is West Ham’s Declan Rice to have 1+ shot on target in the match, available at 12/5 as a single with William Hill.

Last season 86% of Declan Rice’s shots on target in the Premier League came at the London Stadium and I think West Ham will get the better of Southampton here. The Hammers have won the last four meetings with Ralph Hassenhuttl’s side on home soil and have scored at least three goals in all four of those matches.

This campaign Rice has scored two Europa League goals and has one in the Premier League. When it comes to shots on target this season, the midfielder has registered five in 17 appearances with the 1+ line landing in three of his last six in the league.

As well as backing Declan Rice to have a shot on target in the match, I’ve also taken a lean towards him picking up a card from referee Kevin Friend. The official current ranks top for the highest yellow cards per game figure this season giving out 6.20 pg on average.

This season Rice has been racking up the cards having been shown four yellows in the league as well as another in the Europa League group stage. West Ham visited Southampton back in early September in a game where Rice was shown a yellow card and I’ll be hoping for another this weekend.

To recap, that’s just under 17/1 on the Bet Builder double with Paddy Power. Have a great Christmas and I’ll be back in the New Year with hopefully plenty of winners. Thanks very much to all that have taken time to read or follow my ramblings and selections this year. Take care.

Please gamble responsibly.
