Premier League predictions: Jones Knows thinks Brentford can catch Tottenham cold as the Premier League returns on Boxing Day

The Premier League is back, and tipster Jones Knows believes the unique schedule will deliver lots of surprises this holiday season. It’s time to rouse yourself from your Premier League sleep. Brentford defeated Manchester City 2-1 away from home in their most recent game. More coffee will be required. From a betting standpoint, readjusting to local fare after what was a wacky World Cup that was clearly short on quality but packed full of drama will take some time.

Remember, we have another 23 matchdays to generate money. It’s time to wait, refresh, and allow the flow of the season to take form again before becoming too deeply engaged in this card, with possibly a few educated guesses tossed in with the goal of predicting some winning patterns. With so many unknowns surrounding player health and the previous formbook likely being irrelevant, I anticipate sluggish beginnings to matches with favored teams at odds-on failing to produce for bettors, much as it does in the opening few weeks of a new season.

That is pertinent for this match, in which Spurs are priced at 19/20 with Sky Bet and appear alarmingly susceptible. Antonio Conte’s team is without Rodrigo Bentancur, Cristian Romero, and Richarlison – three extremely tough and trustworthy players that you need when going up against Brentford, who you’d expect would be at full strength after the break. The Bees have only lost to Arsenal once at home this season and are infamous for staying in games when the pressure is cranked up on their goal.

They have only lost two of their 26 home games by more than one goal since promotion. I expect the Spurs to have a solid second half of the season, but at these rates, this matchup may catch them off guard. Brentford’s double chance (to escape loss) at 5/6 with Sky Bet seems to be reasonable pricing. This is Palace’s first competitive home game in over two months. Those at the Holmesdale End will have been charged up for this one, ready to make a racket in what is a London derby.

When it comes to facing opponents outside the top tiers of the league at home, Palace is generally a dependable beast. They have only lost one of their previous 17 home games against clubs that finished outside the top seven in the Premier League last season. The little issue is that eight of those results have ended in draws, but I’m confident in Palace’s ability to scorch through a shaky Fulham defense. Despite facing five more shots than them, Marco Silva’s squad has the greatest anticipated goals-against record (28.58) in the Premier League this season. This indicates that Silva’s team will most likely provide opportunities. The home team wins.
