Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

United have a few players being rested from the World Cup, but I still can't see them finding Leicester a real challenge, especially without Mahrez and maybe Vardy. 2-0 or maybe 2-1 I reckon.

Well, I called it. Shame I didn't put my money where my mouth is, haha. I did sub Bailly out of my fantasy football squad at the last moment - turns out that was a good decision too.

Wow, so it has finally started
Good match on the beginning tonight. I am glad my Fulham finally returned to Premiership! I am sure they will stay here for many many years.

Being the very first match of the new season and knowing Mourinho's style of play, I am thinking of betting on no goals scored in the first half @ 3.00 odds. I think the game is likely going to start in classic Mourinho fashion - by semi-parking the bus   I also like both teams to score @ 2.10, but I don't know if the teams are in top form after the break and if there will be first squad players missing. Perhaps both teams will want to get a feel of playing a league match again after the summer break and won't play very aggressively on the attack.

It seems you're confused with mourinho records at the club, he's won all three opening matches including last night match, what you have failed to realise that Mourinho normally parks the bus against top 6 teams, where he needs to slow the game down. The current Lieciester team is not as fast, considering without Mahrez they were lacking firepower. Though it was a hard fought victory 2 - 1 for Manchester United, yet they played brilliantly, and I hope they continue this attacking football ahead.

This game has lots of positives for Manchester United, their backline looks really good especially Shaw, he looks a man on a mission. The mastero Pogba is blending well, as most of the team player's are fit. Though we did not get more players in the transfer market, we yet have De Gea. I really liked the fact Manchester United were agreesive, a team wanting to win, I'm sure the club can pose a serious title challenge.

Newcastle United will take on Tottenham FC today and I am eager to see if Harry Kane is able to score any goals against Newcastle United today, Harry Kane did indeed perform quite well for England in the world cup held at Russia recently, and I think the defenders of Newcastle United would surely need to keep an eye on Harry Kane today to prevent Tottenham FC from getting all 3 points from this match.

Spurs should have no problem beating Newcastle. None of the other games today look that exciting to be honest. Much more interested in seeing Liverpool and Salah back in action and the new look Arsenal tomorrow.

If you remember last time Huddersfield in the opening game was also against Chelsea and they won 3-0 . Today we have the exact same odds but this time I placed a bet on Chelsea because they will seek revenge against Huddersfield. Also placed an over 2.5 goals bet because goals should also happen in this game. I am not an expert though so don't be impacted by my choices when you bet.

Agree, I know Chelsea have a new manager & a few new players to integrate but they will surely have far too much quality for lowly Huddersfield.

Chelsea Looking strong from their Lineup Specialy in Midfield i don't think that Huddersfield will make it to break through it's going to be hard to get pass those trio in Midfield but the Problem i don't see many chances created with that lineup and propably the goal will come from a set piece so i think better go with under 2.5 goals with Chelsea winning the game while hosts will try to defend and get atleast one point from this game but Chelsea are in a vengence mission and Sarri needs to start his EPL campign strong.

In the recent match Chelsea look some what weak in scoring so i go with under 2.5 goal and first half with draw as Chelsea defense is very good. Apart from that Inplay bet will be very good to bet. If you can take risk you can go with Draw / Chelsea half / full time bet also

Yup.  The real test could be next weekend vs Emery's Arsenal.  But def a real test at the end of September vs Liverpool.  Lmao.

Welcome to the EPL coach Sarri, enjoy your stay.

I am watching the Wolves - Everton game at the moment. We have had 5 wins so far today and I am curious to see if we will get the 6th or the last match of the day will end up being a draw. I am rooting for Wolves to win because of their crypto sponsorship haha  I think both teams will score and there will be over 2.5 goals. 2-1 for Wolves.

Crikes, I'm doing pretty shoddily in the first week so far, only 1 prediction outcome correct (thank you bournemouth) and all the underdogs losing, except for crystal palace but I bet a draw on them fml.

Always like Wolves too, and anything for a win over the blue side of Liverpool suits me, and they've just leveled now a min before half time.

Not watching any games as am travelling but good that there are no boring draws so far. Liverpool tomorrow and awesome Arsenal vs City to slouch at home for.

Wow, I had no idea about the crypto sponsorship. Here's the full story for anyone else interested: https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/club/20180704-wolves-unveil-coindeal-as-shirt-sleeve-sponsor/

With Wolves' equaliser and Jagielka's red card, 2-1 to Wolves seems like a good chance.

Hopefully it will pique people's interest, but I wouldn't get too excited just about a sleeve sponsorship. When a team has the full sponsorship on the front of the shirt then I'll get excited. I wonder who would be the first to do that? Maybe some company like Coinbase or something?

[swogerino]

After the red card I think the Wolves vs Everton game will show more goals on the second half. I am tempted to place a bet on over 3.5 goals but I know this can be risky as Everton can start to play defensively and thinking that since we are on 10 players now even a point is good for us.

It all depends on the Everton manager strategy now because the manager of Wolves will only tell his players to attack as this is a golden opportunity to get the first three points of the season.

Well, you should have gone ahead with the bet. The score is 2-2 with around 10 minutes left to go. Everton has taken the lead twice in this match, but the wolves have leveled the scores each time.
With Everton reduced to ten men, the Wolves should push ahead for victory now.

2-2 for now and yes it is over 3.5 goals. Everton was supposed to win the game however due to the red card, it is not likely going to happen. First game for him and he dropped right out with a red card for the team. Lame

It is still better than having nothing at all, it cost alot to be the main sponsor. You should consider this as a great first step because crypto will be getting much more exposure

Yeah the Wolves are sponsored by CoinDeal. You can see the name stamped on the outer side of the jersey sleeves. By the way I noticed that Everton are apparently sponsored by Angry Birds as that was what they were wearing on their jersey sleeves. Made me chuckle 
Fortunately my 2 bets on the game went through yay I thought Wolves were going to win though being a player up. We got the first draw in the league, albeit an eventful one.

I know it's expensive, but bitcoin is becoming a huge industry. Coinbase apparently value itself as an 8 billion dollar company which is probably more than the value of some of companies that sponsor the smaller teams who sit mid and bottom of the table.

I just saw this article which is interesting: https://www.statista.com/statistics/254513/value-of-jersey-kit-sponsorships-in-the-barclays-premier-league-by-club/

Huddersfield get 1.5 million for their shirt deal - Ope Sports (never heard of them). American Express sponsor Brighton also for 1.5 million who are a huge business. Man United are the biggest earners with a whopping 47 million from Chevy. Looking at those figures Coinbase or someone similar could easily afford to drop 1.5 million on sponsoring a Premier League team. The teams in the Championship will be much much cheaper as well.

People still play angry birds? 

[Wendigo]

Seemingly they do Actually this made me very curious about the details of the deal and found the following about Angry Birds sponsorship on Everton's official webpage: http://www.evertonfc.com/content/fans/partners/angry-birds

Angry Birds becomes Everton’s first shirt sleeve partner
Everton will debut the Angry Birds logo on the sleeve against Manchester United at Old Trafford
The partnership opens Everton up to 80 million monthly active users of the Angry Birds game worldwide

They have been wearing this since last season and I haven't even noticed it lol
