A relentless period of Premier League action continues on matchday 17, with all 20 teams in action across Saturday and Sunday. Each team in the competition will play three times over the next ten days, and you can find the AI soccer predictions for December 21-22 here.
AI Soccer Predictions
Aston Villa vs. Man City
Man City holds a dominant advantage based on head-to-head meetings against Aston Villa. However, the hosts were 1-0 winners at Villa Park last season.
City’s dip in form is noted by AI, as they have won once in their last eleven. But, the tech still gives the champions a 50% chance of winning the Premier League match on Saturday.
Prediction:
- Man City (+117)
Brentford vs. Nottingham Forest
The fact that Brentford are unbeaten in four previous Premier League encounters against Nottingham Forest is noted by AI. Both sides come into this round of matches in excellent form this season, but Brentford’s home advantage could be crucial.
The Bees are unbeaten at the Gtech Community Stadium in 2024-25, and therefore, the home win is the preferred selection when making AI soccer predictions.
Prediction:
- Brentford (+125)
Ipswich vs. Newcastle
Ipswich confidence will be high after a significant win at Wolves last weekend, but Newcastle also excelled after scoring four against Leicester.
AI notes that the Magpies are the stronger team on paper, while they have statistically proven to be the most consistent team out of the two this season. Therefore, the AI soccer predictions are leaning to an away win.
Prediction:
- Newcastle (-134)
West Ham vs. Brighton
West Ham continue to be inconsistent in the Premier League this season, while Brighton have failed to win in their last four.
The Hammers will have home field advantage, and while that is noted by AI, the tech is siding with the visitors. The numbers show the Seagulls to have a 41.6% chance of gaining maximum points on Saturday.
Prediction:
- Brighton (+136)
Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal
Arsenal have a healthy record against Crystal Palace, signaled by their 5-0 win over the Eagles in January. However, the fact that the Seagulls have home field advantage is noted, as Palace have an excellent record at Selhurst Park.
Despite recent issues in creating chances from open play, Arsenal are the pick by AI, but Palace could have an interesting chance to snatch a point.
Prediction:
- Arsenal (-156)
Everton vs. Chelsea
Chelsea have been in excellent form under Enzo Maresca this season, and their healthy record in previous matches against Everton is noted by AI. The Blues also come into this round after going on an unbeaten run, while the Toffees have endured mixed results.
AI finds the Blues to have a 55.4% chance of winning at Goodison Park, with some experts claiming that it could be a comfortable win for Chelsea.
Prediction:
- Chelsea (-155)
Fulham vs. Southampton
Southampton’s poor run of form in the Premier League is noted by AI, but the tech does acknowledge that there could be a change in fortunes following the change in management.
However, Fulham have the home advantage, and have enjoyed excellent results at Craven Cottage this season. Their chances are enhanced following an excellent showing last weekend when earning a draw at Liverpool.
Prediction:
- Fulham (-235)
Leicester vs. Wolves
AI notes the fact that both sides have endured testing starts to the Premier League season, leaving both toward the bottom of the standings.
However, it is noted that Leicester have a positive record against Wolves, winning five of the last 12. AI expects a high-scoring match at the King Power Stadium, but the narrow preference is given to Leicester based on their healthy head-to-head record.
Prediction:
- Leicester (+152)
Man United vs. Bournemouth
Man United’s inconsistent form is noted by AI. However, the tech acknowledges that the Red Devils have battled well despite injury issues. Bournemouth have already shown this season that they can battle against the best teams in the league.
However, United’s overall dominance in this fixture does tilt the scales in their favor.
Prediction:
- Man United (-121)
Tottenham vs. Liverpool
Tottenham’s lengthy injury list is noted by AI, as they will be without four key defenders, and their number one goalkeeper.
Liverpool will have a near-full strength squad to select from. Liverpool have dominated recent matches against Spurs, with their only setback coming in this fixture last season. However, the stats give the Reds a 57.8% chance of gaining maximum points in North London.
Prediction:
- Liverpool (-131)
