Which European teams can cause a surprise over Christmas?

:Headline: Which European teams can cause a surprise over Christmas?:
With the fixtures due to come thick and fast over the Christmas and New Year period, which European teams can cause a surprise in their respective leagues?
Sports Mole

Given the ongoing issues associated with the coronavirus pandemic, it remains to be seen whether teams across Europe will be able to fulfil their respective fixtures. That is particularly the case with regards to the Premier League at a time when clubs are preparing to play three games in the space of a week, but winter breaks have been scrapped elsewhere as leagues attempt to make up for a slow start to the season. The short turnarounds should lead to many surprise results, but which teams are best equipped to reward punters with victories at big betting odds?

When taking advantage of what https://askbettors.com/bookmakers/ has to offer, you may want to consider placing at least one bet on Fulham. Not only have Scott Parker's side recorded three successive draws in the Premier League, they have also been presented with the longest breaks between their matches. They will be regarded as the underdogs against each of Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley, but going with 'draw no bet' for that triple-header will provide you with a strong chance of making a profit. From an individual game perspective, we will also be prepared to back Manchester United to comfortably dispose of Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 29. The visitors to Old Trafford are having to play twice in 48 hours, and facing a free-scoring United side is one of the worst fixtures possible for Nuno Espirito Santo's team.

Turning our attention to La Liga, and Celta Vigo's fixture away at Real Madrid on January 2 catches our eye. As it stands, Eduardo Coudet's side are on a par with Los Blancos over the last four matches, scoring 11 goals during four successive victories. While much can change in the two fixtures ahead of that meeting, Vigo will go into that fixture with nothing to lose and everything to gain. As with Fulham, placing a 'draw no bet' on that game is worth the risk.

Rangers are the runaway leaders in the Scottish Premiership but there have been signs in recent matches that they are beginning to be affected by the relentless run of matches. With another three fixtures to take place between December 23 and December 30, Steven Gerrard must rotate his squad, and the priority will be on the home fixture with Hibernian on Boxing Day. The Glasgow giants will be clear favourites to prevail against St Johnstone, Hibs and St Mirren but again, consideration must be given to 'draw no bet'. Such is the difference in class between themselves and the opposition that just one surprise result will benefit the punter, and we especially like the look of Hibs claiming a surprise victory at Ibrox.
