Last Hurrah! A Race To Three Points To End The Year On A High: Accumulator Tip for December 30

As the year 2023 concludes, European football remains a highlight during the festive season. Saturday's football lineup includes the Old Firm Derby between Celtic and Rangers, as well as Wolves aiming to secure their second consecutive victory against Everton. Additionally, Al Ittihad, facing a dip in form in the Saudi Professional League, ventures to the Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium to play against Al Taee, aspiring to break their three-match losing streak. Whatever the circumstances, we've thoughtfully crafted an accumulator tip for you to potentially win big.

Heading into the second Old Firm Derby of the season, Celtic have been the better side this season compared to Rangers, whom they trail by five points, as they find themselves firmly ensconced at the top of the Scottish Premiership with 48 points to their name. Brendan Rodgers team had no trouble seeing off Dundee on boxing day as a mean right jab witnessed them eke out a comfortable 3-0 triumph on the road, extending their winning streak to two matches.

Rangers, on the other hand, saw their match against Ross County postponed on Wednesday as a result of travel disruptions affecting Derek Adams and his team, although they did manage to beat Motherwell 2-0 away from home prior to that. While Celtic may have been the better side on paper this season, they may feel optimistic about their prospects of overtaking Brendan Rodgers side at the top as they head into this clash with two games in hand while comfortably positioned in second place with 43 points in the Scottish Premiership standings.

While Celtic are favorites to secure maximum points in front of their fans, their opponents cannot be underestimated, the reason being that they have only suffered one defeat in nine away matches, not to mention they are currently on an eight-match unbeaten run (W7 D1) with seven clean sheets kept in the process, although the idea of them maintaining a clean sheet in this match might be more wishful thinking than reality. As such, we expect to see goals at both ends of the pitch, as this has been the case in six of their last ten meetings.

Al Taee's performance in the league has hit a rough patch; they head into this match with a three-match losing streak since a 1-0 win over Al Fateh on December 2nd. Their latest match in the league was a 3-0 defeat to Damac on the road, marking the second consecutive time that they have failed to score in their away matches. Having accumulated 17 points from 18 matches, Al Taee occupy 15th place in the Saudi Professional League standings and are a mere one point ahead of the relegation zone.

Al Ittihad, on the other hand, squandered a one-goal lead to be on the receiving end of a morale-crushing 5-2 defeat at the hands of Al Nassr at home, with Abderrazak Hamdallah's brace serving as consolation amidst the defeat. Since the sacking of Nuno Espírito Santo, newly appointed Marcelo Gallardo has managed just four wins from nine matches (L4 D1), and given that his team is currently on a three-match losing streak, this places him in uncertain territory at the outset, and securing a victory in this match would be highly welcome. With 28 points accumulated from 18 matches played, Al Ittihad sits sixth in the Saudi Professional League standings, level on points with seventh-placed Al Fateh and twenty-two points behind first-placed Al Hilal.

Given the perfect opportunity to return to winning ways, Al Ittihad faces a team experiencing a challenging season, and a convincing victory for the away side appears inevitable, considering they have secured eleven wins in their last thirteen encounters in this fixture.

The West Midlands side have been far from superb this season, and it's hardly a revelation considering their subpar showing in the last season. In their latest match against Brentford away from home, where the odds were stacked against them, Gary O'Neil's charges rose to the challenge to eke out a commanding 4-1 triumph, marking their second consecutive win in the Premier League, and it goes without saying they'll be aiming for a third consecutive win in front of their fans, where they've been impressive, suffering two losses in nine matches (W4 D3).

Everton, on the other hand, are also in the same boat as their opponents in this upcoming clash when it comes to experiencing an underwhelming season. However, in their case, a genuine display of character strength has been the defining theme this season, considering a ten-point deduction by the Premier League for breaching the competition's financial rules. In their latest match against Manchester City at home, they blew up a one-goal lead to succumb to a 3-1 defeat, extending their losing streak to two matches, and it's without a doubt they'll fancy their chances of bouncing back in this upcoming clash.

With four wins out of their last five away league games, Everton could pose a potential threat in this one against their opponents, seeking to extend their winning streak to three matches. This is not one to be underestimated. This is expected to be a highly entertaining affair between two sides hungry to show consistency, and we expect to see goals at both ends of the pitch, as has been the case in seven of their last eleven meetings.
