Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[cryptofrka]

Ouch, yesterday hurt. I said before the game that I would like a dominant Liverpool performance and during the first 20 minutes or so I thought we will be winning. After that City really upped their game and punished every little mistake we did.

Not really the way you want your first game as champions to go, but we'll get them for it next season. Fair play to them, they are a great team. That's why winning this title so early felt so good after all.

I did expect Liverpool to lose yesterday as there is no real motivation for them to play at their top level because they are already Premier League Champions this year.However I never thought that they would lose with 4 goals difference,I was expecting a good fight and maybe a 2-1 score for Manchester City but that kind of loss for Liverpool.

Liverpool got humbled last night. I think next season the league will be a lot closer. Would be nice if Liverpool played City very early on. Did anyone think the disallowed goal in the Spurs game should have stood? Didn't look like it hit his hand to me.

I'm beginning to think that this is perhaps a fixed match, I just can't believe that Liverpool won't reply to a 4 goals deficit, their defense was totally in shambles, conceding a penalty, doing an own goal and show lackadaisical attitude in marking city players, on a good day Alison would have saved the 5th goal that was disallowed, something might be fishy about this game

Dear god, Shut up. Why do idiots always complain about fixed matches here? Did you bet on Liverpool to win by any chance? Do you really think someone successfully managed to convince the entire Liverpool squad to throw the game for some unbeknownst reason? They just got beat by a much better team on the night. Liverpool have nothing to play for now really so maybe that contributed but it's not like City aren't a great side. I expected them to win just not by that margin.

Yesterday's game made me sad, it definitely wasn't a good week for me in the premier league:

Manchester City 4 - 0 Liverpool FC



Sheffield United 3 - 1 Tottenham



West Ham 3 - 2 Chelsea



Everton FC 2 - 1 Leicester City



 

it really was a very bad week for me and with very unpleasant surprises

You are not the only one who feel bad for those matches. I did place bet for Totenham and Chelsea but on the other side I won a bet on Manchester City. I was so sure that City will win as I think that Liverpool would not force themselves to win as they get the title already. The lost of Chelsea gives a good chance for Manchester United, only 2 points gap now (3 points to Leicester) and it will be so interesting who will finish on 3rd and 4th at the end of the season. Will Wolves give us a big surprise as they are now at the same points as MU?

basically, i am a fan of Everton, but will be happy to see Wolves on spot 4 at the end of the season, it will be a signal that big 6 on Premier league football is going down, since Leicester is already in, and Wolves is there, both to replace Arsenal and Tottenham, this season, but most probably not just this season, since big name is coming back to Premier league - Leeds united, can't wait to see them in Premier, Newcastle will be more than one mediocre team with new owners, and Gunners will probably stay in the middle of the tables next season, while Tottenham could be in upper part, but will be hard for them to include themselvs within top teams

Sorry for your losses and I hope you recover fast but I blame you a little bit for Liverpool. If you see in this topic barely everyone is alerting about Liverpool defeat and City rocking in the previous games. For the other matches, it was a disappointment for everyone and I am pretty sure most people lost their bets in that bad day.
For tomorrow games better to think twice before placing your bets, almost all matches are unpredictable and bad surprises most likely will occur in one or most of them.

Before I had thought that the bigger team would win, but indeed this was a bad day for those who had bet with a team that was sure they would win, but yes, in football it was difficult to guess, like Chelsea would lose to Westham and this was true. Damn right from those four matches.

 It was honestly a weird game when you look at the score, however if you watched the game you know how much City has managed to dominate the game, they were awesome from the first moment and they were all doing amazing team work together as well, it was like watching a well oiled machine in work. Liverpool on the other hand knew that they were champions, so they didn't really see a big reason to keep working hard and winning games, they knew that they still had a chance to break that 100 point record but even if they don't, they are still champions. So at the end of the game it was a match between a team who didn't cared and were champions anyway versus a team who wanted to be champions but failed so they wanted revenge, pretty expectable result if you ask me.

Manchester city where not going to give Liverpool a bragging rights but what ever they did the title is lost and won. An exciting game from a neutral point though.

Manchester City expectations should mainly be on Champions league games, are they really battling to maintain the 2nd spot in English Premier league?  Because Champions League isn't for them next season as they are on penalty for playing CL in next tournament.

The thing about the game and how the score makes sense to me is the fact that Liverpool winning was such a low chance in almost all of sportsbooks, which told me that the score was predicted way before the game started. If it was a fixed game the odd makers wouldn't have done that and would have instead offer lower odds to Liverpool like 2.4 or whatever so that a lot of people would play on that instead since it looked like they could win, in return all of them would have lost.

But, now looking at 3.7 type of odds in places, that tells me that sportsbooks knew Liverpool will lose and they didn't fixed the game, they still had a bit of risk in it. Plus when you are talking about these huge gigantic teams, none of them has any reasons to actually sell out a game, they have a billion dollar worth team, what could possibly be gained from selling out a game.

Liverpool like helpless in the first round...
3 goals in the first half kept me not continue again to watch the City vs Liverpool match, I do not know what really happened, maybe the motivation of Liverpool players has been lost since they were confirmed as champions.

Did anyone think the disallowed goal in the Spurs game should have stood? Didn't look like it hit his hand to me.

That's what I thought as well after checking replays from different angles but in NBC's analysis, it shows his forearm touching the ball and that lead to the ball bending towards inside a little bit.

In addition to that, Man City's 5th goal ^{[disallowed one]} is another ridiculous thing due to "2019/20 handball rule".
^{- There was a foul on Foden in the buildup to that incident.}

City was much better in the whole game and the result was fair.
Liverpool didn't seem that they are going to try to win the game.
It was like giving to City fans the happiness of celebrating the win for this game.

There are some interesting matches this week (today) in my opinion.

Two of them are:
Manchester United - AFC Bournemouth
Chelsea FC - Watford FC

From these two matches, I took Manchester United with a handicap (-2.5) and Chelsea with a handicap (-1.75).

What do you think of my choice? Are any of you the same as me?

I took Chelsea vs Watford under 4.5 goals, Manchester united vs Bournemouth over 2.5 goals
I am having some feelings that Antonio Martial will score for Manchester, such a juicy odd but more risky.
Watford might want to settle for a draw at Stamford bridge perhaps under 4.5 goals might be won

I think the players of Norwich might have already accept the fact that their team will be relegated after this season ends, Norwich have lost a total of 21 games out of 32 games played and I guess the losing streak of Norwich will continue today when they play against Brighton.

CL place chasers vs Relegation battlers in both games, haha. To be honest I think both United & Chelsea will both take the 3 points.

Yea I am also feeling like this now they are mentally prepare for this all and they are not doing as they need to do so today Brighton is going to win this match and Norwich is going for another home lost.

It looks like easy wins for Manchester United and Chelsea today but that is where Premier League has all the beauty.In many occassions we have seen surprises and these surprises have happened when few teams were fighting for the same spot which is the case today.I would be afraid to bet on both Chelsea and Manchester United to win.
