No Retreat, No Surrender!: Accumulator Tips for December 23, 2025

The AFCON tournament continues with Nigeria facing off against Tanzania later tomorrow. Meanwhile, the Lion of Teranga will hope to start strong against a struggling Botswana. On the other hand, the Gunners will strive to eliminate their London rivals, Crystal Palace, in the EFL Cup at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. 

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace

The Gunners will hope to advance to the semifinals of the EFL Cup, where they will face off against Chelsea later this year. Arsenal, who defeated both Port Vale and Brighton, have scored four times without conceding a goal. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace, who defeated Liverpool in the knockout phase, will be keen to secure their ticket to the next round of the competition.

Arteta’s men have struggled to find the back of the net lately, and it’ll be interesting to see how they set up a solid Crystal Palace side later tomorrow. 

Trend & H2H

Arsenal have won their last three games in all competitions.

More than two goals have surfaced in the Crystal Palace’s five consecutive matches. 

Crystal Palace have scored first in seven of their last nine matches. 

Mikel Arteta is unbeaten against Oliver Glasner in their previous four meetings.

The last time both teams met, Arsenal recorded a (3-2) victory over the Eagles.

Betting Tip

The Gunners will fight for every single trophy available this season, unlike the previous campaigns. Arteta is expected to feature a strong side against Crystal Palace, who have already lost a key player to the AFCON tournament. Since this game will be played at the Emirates, I expect a commanding result from Arsenal against the Eagles tomorrow. 

Bet Type: Home Win

Senegal vs Botswana

The 2021 champions, Senegal, will commence their AFCON campaign against Botswana tomorrow. The Lions of Teranga had a smooth sail coming into this competition, picking up sixteen points from a possible eighteen. Meanwhile, Botswana head here for the second time in their history, with their most recent appearance ending without a single point.

Senegal have improved massively in recent games, and they’ll be keen to take advantage of Botswana, who are yet to register a win across their last four matches in all competitions.

Trend & H2H 

Senegal are unbeaten in eighteen consecutive games.

Botswana have failed to keep a clean sheet across their last three games.

More than two goals have surfaced in four of the last five of Senegal's games. 

Their last two meetings have ended in a comfortable victory for Senegal. 

Betting Tips

The Lions of Teranga boast one of the best attacks in the competition and a balanced defense. They have been consistent lately, and we expect them to exert dominance over a struggling Botswana team. This is a game that will be dictated by Senegal, and I think they’ll likely win before the break.

Nigeria vs Tanzania

After failing to make it to the World Cup, the Super Eagles will strive to triumph in this competition to console their fans. Nigeria, who had a smooth sail in their attempt to qualify, will face off against a dangerous Tanzania side tomorrow. Meanwhile, Miguel Gamondi’s men will be keen to lay their hands on the title for the very first time after several years without success. 

The Super Eagles have been pretty decent since the arrival of coach Eric Chelle, while Tanzania have lost four consecutive games lately. 

Trend & H2H

Tanzania are winless in seven consecutive games in all competitions. 

No cleansheet for Nigeria in their last three games and six for Tanzania across all competitions. 

Fewer than two goals have surfaced in six of the last seven Tanzania matches.

Nigeria have won once and drawn a game across their last two meetings against Tanzania.

Betting Tip

The Super Eagles are one of the teams tipped to triumph in this competition. They are also one of the most experienced sides and possess players who can hurt any team at the continental level. However, they can be vulnerable at the back, and Tanzania could take advantage of that. Having said that, the Super Eagles have been playing with lots of flair lately, and I think they’ll win and score more than a goal.
