The turkey's been devoured, the presents have been revealed and the crackers have been pulled. What's left? A trip to Morocco with our Kev, that's what.
"Raja Casablanca's price appears based on little but their pedigree, as their recent form doesn't justify it against an Olympic Safi side chasing a third straight away win."
Lay Raja Casablanca at 1.564/7
Raja Casablanca v Olympic Safi
Saturday December 26, 18:00
Instead of the Nightmare Before Christmas, we had the Nightmare On Christmas. Kuwait's Ah Jahra hadn't led at half-time in any of their home games, but yesterday they grabbed a 42nd-minute advantage against Al Sulaibikhat. To rub salt into our wounds, they went on to lose 2-1, so stitching us up proved pointless anyway.
Ah well, let's don the remaining paper crowns and wrap ourselves in discarded tinsel, because we're off to Morocco. At this time of year quite a few people watch Casablanca, but there's no Humphrey Bogart for us today, because we're taking in Raja Casablanca v Olympic Safi.
Raja are mid-table, and in poor form, having won just one of their last six games in the Botola Pro League. They aren't particularly strong at their Stade Mohamed V either - they have lost three of their six home games, including two of the last three.
Olympic Safi are only behind today's opponents on goal difference, but they have a bit of momentum. OCS have lost just one of their last four league matches, and they are chasing a third straight victory on the road.
Raja Casablanca have the pedigree (they have finished in the top two 16 times since 1988), and it's hard to argue that their price of 1.564/7 to win this game is based on anything but history. The two teams have made similar starts to the campaign, and Olympic Safi have only lost once to Raja Casablanca in the clubs' last four meetings.
