Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

[Rikafip]

A few months ago I was sure that WBA will be first or second in Champions without any problem.

Yeah me too, and rest of WBA fans as situation looked great then.

I'm not sure what happened with them but in the last a few weeks they don't play well.
It see they lost confidence and don't play well under pressure.

Despite being among top scoring teams, they simply lacked top goalscorer, and in these crucial moments you need someone you can rely on to get the ball in. Their top attacker, Charlie Austin scored only 10 goals  this season, and that's not enough to even get to top 25 in Championship. For example, Brentford has Watkins that scored 25 and Benrahma 17, Fulham has Mitrovic with 25, Leeds have Bamford who scored 16 etc. Imho, that should be their man focus for the next season, whether they get promoted or not. And new goalkeeper.

Remember match between Croatia and Turkey in Euro 2008?
His teams always play well in different competitions but when he and his teams just have to finish job always something happen.

I am still trying to forget that match

But yeah, I like Bilic and I think that he is a good coach, but somehow he tends to mess things up. It is also fair to say that before season started no one expected WBA to be at the top for so long, so even if he fails to get them promotion, I wouldn't call their overall season complete fail.

Another batting for Norwich? I bet they are disheartened now.






"Championship: Leeds United promoted to Premier League after 16-year absence"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53449068

Norwich city would be playing for pride right now, I will be hoping the win this but Burnley will not be sympathetic to them, the very possible good result they can get is a draw, and I predict a full time draw in this match, at the start of the season Norwich was out if the three teams promoted the one to do well, but it was not to be, Sheffield united became the revelation.

Leeds united, are a historical team, and after a long absence in top flight football they should make something work for themselves, the bottom line is every season three team will be demoted and three promoted the circle will continue, sad for the related team and congratulations to the promoted teams

I agree with you.
Just reading some articles online and many people are upset with his words after last match.
It seems that he gave up from second place and already preparing his team for playoff.
He also said that his players was under big pressure and didn't play well.

Norwich - Burnley

it will be a very interesting game because on the one hand we have Burnley who made 5 games where he only scored 1 goals, but miraculously managed 3 draws and two victories. (unbelievable that he even drew with Liverpool). On the other hand we have Norwich with 5 losses, I bet Burnley will win that game


Fa Cup

Arsenal - Manchester City



The difference is too big, I will wait 15 minutes to place my bet

[QueenVera]

Congrats to Leeds fan, promotion well deserved. They showed why they were favorites to win Championship and get promotion this season.

Well someone should tell them they aren't coming to an inferior league like the one they're getting promoted from. I hate when teams get promoted yet couldn't retain the pressure of the league and end up getting relegated the next season. The promoted teams should bring in their A game as teams like wolves and Sheffield United did not not disappointing their fans as Norwich did.
Well let me give them a benefit of doubt to see how they perform, wishing them the best though.

I can’t believe WBA might have thrown it all away, Brentford only need a draw to go into 2nd place. Should be interesting to see who gets the 2nd automatic promotion place.

Arsenal - Manchester City

Arsenal have improved a lot in these few weeks. Arteta did a great job fixing the midfield puzzle but overall there is more to fix like defence for example. City are gonna pull their possession game as always again and I am sure that Arsenal defence won't be able to handle it. Only thing that could work out for Arsenal is going head to head and play offensive style but the chances of that to work out is also very little.

Still don't know what might be going inside Guardiola's head so will wait for the lineup.

Brentford is currently losing to Stoke 1-0 Maybe Brentford too can crumble under the pressure?  I certainly wouldn't mind that to happen and for Bilic to finally be the lucky one in the end!

 I was so sad to see Watford losing I was supporting them to win so that they could guarantee their stay in the league, after all they have a bitcoin symbol on their jersey and they are sponsored by a crypto sportsbook, so if I am going to feel anything for an english team that should be Watford, I do not know any other team anyway in the sense that I am not british so I do not have connection with them.

 Of course it is still possible that Watford could stay but its no longer up to watford to stay, they will probably lose the other two games, Bournemouth however faces teams that are not bad but not good, so they could maybe beat one of them and that would be horrible for us. I don't know what to expect anymore, just 2 games left and I do not have any nails to bite on from all the anxiety.

Can Stoke save the WBA?
Brentford had won eight in a row before today but if they lose today then they brought the WBA back to life!
The Championship is really probably the toughest league in the world, for a reason.
A lot of matches, great efforts and stress and it is not easy to endure to the end.

Stoke maintain their lead and give good edge to WBA for automatic promotion now Brentford is going to joined Fullham play off's.

WBA is alive again

What next?
Who's going to have stronger nerves in the last championship round?

15min before kick-off?
i'm going with totals on my ticket, ml lines are meh. O9.5 corners + O2.5 goals + serie a game, total odds 3.44

About Norwhich - Burnley, on paper, the clarets shouldn't have any problems today, but norwich might go tryhard mode and try to win their last game at home in the EPL.

Is two bets from same match allowed in your parlay because I check some time ago most of sites not allowing this one ?

Now this will be very interesting to watch in the last round 😁😁 Would love to be able to see Ivaninevich reactions while he is watching the next WBA match 🤣🤣

Lol, winning Liverpool doesn't automatically means they have improved. Judging from the way Liverpool's are playing currently (no determination and feeling very relax), any team with hunger can defeat them and that's what they should be expecting when they face us (Chelsea) next.

Arsenal has no chance against Manchester city in this game, for arsenal to record defeat it has to be due to the poor play from Manchester city and not Arsenal's brilliance. Meanwhile I don't care whoever wants it more but they should just be ready because Chelsea will be waiting for them in the finals after we defeat Manchester United tommorow.

hahaha, it's good if you are careful, because it's an FA semifinal match...
arsenal has performed well to be able to the semifinals, I was curious with the final score that will happen later. my favorite blue team will vs MU, hopefully, they can go to the final and won the FA cup.

[leea-1334]

Leeds are back I just found out. I cannot even really remember well the old Leeds team these were the days when all we could see were the replays and the pictures in newspapers but who can forget the baggy jerseys of Leeds United. I wonder if we will see West Brom again after the performance. Derby maybe and Wayne Rooney if they can beat Leeds?

[masulum]

Last two match in EPL, look like watford have a big challenge now. Of course, lot of people will say it impossible for Bournemouth take over watford places. But, the game is not over yet, bournemouth can give something different for the last matches, Because watford in bad schedule for the next game, bournemouth still can win over southampton and draw vs everton, if this happen, Watford will be relegated. because from team quality, City and Arsenal can beat them. Lets hope southampton can beat bournemouth and save watford position from relegation from week 37.

[el kaka22]

Who here will play on the Spurs Leicester game? I do not really know which one of them will get it but Leicester actually needs it a lot if they want to continue with their chance for the champions league, Spurs are at 55 points as well and they would actually need to be over Wolves in order to go to Europa at least and it is a very tough game for both teams.

I do not know who I will be picking but at the same time I am pretty sure that I would pick Leicester just because they have been the better team in the year so far. Not that it would matter in a 90 minute game because anything could happen but if I have to pick one I would go with Leicester. Anyone else have any ideas about that game? I want to bet on it so bad but I am not entirely sure if I should or if I should just stay away from it since it is too risky.
