Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[RealMalatesta]

I do not support fans coming back even if the numbers look better in the near future, we have seen how when people go out the numbers rise, just because numbers get better doesn't mean we should become defenseless against covid, it is too risky to let people back into stadiums for now, and I do not mean full because that is not going to happen anyway, I am talking about not even allowing 100 ticket holders, just the players+staff+workers and maybe few family members and that's it, no fans allowed should continue whole year.

These numbers are bound to go down one day this year, maybe it won't but I feel like it could be better like June type of numbers or early July, but even with that we saw that it could increase back up very quickly so it would be worth it to just not allow just in case for this whole season.

LFC was talking about people being aloud back to watch games, perhaps in the new year.

Covid is starting to kick off again around here, things are shutting down again.

This doesn't bode well for a return in the new year.

I fear we might even see another season pause.


Crowds could really make the difference towards the end of the season. I seriously doubt our chances even though other sports have had some fans allowed in.

Yes, the pandemic is picking up pace every day, in Germany they just banned all fans from the stadiums again. Instead of making plans when and how fans can come back, we should better hope that another stopp isn't necessary. I already wrote it in the German Bundesliga thread: The way things are developing now, it looks more like we'll see another pause than (more) fans in the stadiums. Because once more and more players get tested positive, teams have to go into quarantine and matches might have to be cancelled.

Agree with your opinion, it is very risky to let the audience re-enter the stadiums. Because crowds will make the virus spread faster.
Currently, there are several matches postponed due to positive staff or players during the pre-match test. I cannot imagine that in
the near future spectators are allowed to enter the stadium, it will definitely increase the number of people  who are positive for COVID19.
Because running health protocols cannot go well, if there is a crowd.

Matches being postponed due to Covid19 complications of athletes and staff status, that's serious. I wonder why the Club brugge and Lazio match in the Uefa Champions League wasn't postponed as nine of it's athletes were left out in training. Of course there are alternatives, a second eleven to feature. Anyway,
Spectators could still feature, at least Italian league is known to accept a few spectators in the stadium following Covid19 protocols. This could be done in the premier league as well. They just ensure to disinfect the environment, run checks on the people, ensuring they've got nose masks on and social distance their setting positions. It's a new normal and we've got to coup with it. It has already taken too long for a lasting solution. Adaptation seems to be our best chance to a normal life, at least for the moment.

I believe its very necessary to manage and curtail the second wave of this pandemic hence fans shouldn't be rushed in, I prefers empty stadium for now until a vaccine is discovered and fans inoculated else the upsurge will continue and we have to consider its devastating effects on aged and people with underlying health challenges, for now fans should watch matches in their respective homes.

Not the most interesting football is waiting for us today... Wolves VS Crystal Palace... Both teams have almost the same statistics of past games... But I think that the home team will win...

[Karartma1]

Even allowing a few into stadiums exponentially complicate things: how do you make sure everyone's not a virus carrier? How do you avoid they will hug and cheer each other when their team scores a goal? Let's face it: it's better if stadiums stay empty for now. Otherwise, at some point they will have to stop professional sports altogether.
Talking about tonight's game I see a draw between Wolverhampton and Crystal Palace @ 3.20 pays nice

agree that it is better to have empty stadiums than pandemic, think that this is clear for all

regarding tonight, yeah draw is the closest to bet, but i do have some thoughts that Crystal Palace could win tonight, they have really good score away this season, and seems that home advantage does not exist on empty stadiums, maybe i will just skip it

Where does the information about the stadium being empty come from? I see that many people started to write about it, but I can't find any references to the official announcement anywhere...

I predicted a 2-0 win for Wolves in the Bitcointalk pool.

They've been playing some decent football lately despite the low scoring matches. The Eagles on the other hand got only 1 win in the last 4 games and it was against the worst team in the league. Nuno and the lads have the momentum, should get the 3 pts tonight. Btw, Jimenez to score at 2.10 odds, not bad (:

Wolves have so far haven't displayed as expected. Last season they were attacking so well last season. But this season seems like Nuno is trying some changes into the team. They are desperately looking for a good run and this time is a decent opponent against them.

Not a secret why people choose wolves to win over crystal palace, they have a great squad and last season was impressive.
This season they even bought the whole portugal squad as a package, nuno did his imagination into reality lol
I bet wolves to win too but with 1-0 or 2-1 only.
No more upset.

Problem with Wolves this season is that they start playing football after first half. That throws all my bets since I like to play both to score or ML markets mostly. One half is not enough of time for me to feel like I have realistic chance of winning the bet. I was considering playing first half 0:0 but decided against it. I just know if I take that market there will be an early penalty for sure.

Exactly^^ Nuno also thinks the same : https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11699/12118071/nuno-espirito-santo-wolves-boss-worried-about-lack-of-first-half-goals and that's a concern. He assessed it all right. His side needs to try work towards an early break. They have been really playing great but it is the attacking that has left them out of scene so far.

Think gonna change here in Crystal Palace today? Guess we have to wait and see it today.

It could be that Wolves can score more than two goals against Crystal Palance, especially since the composition of Wolves' players is more favored than Cristal Palalce. Wolves' mainstay striker Raul Jimenez will be the spearhead for Wolves to break into the Crystal Palace goal, maybe Wilfried Zaha could be a threat to Wolves because this player has speed and also a very accurate shot. However, Wolves are still more favored than Cristal Palace, Wolves often make it difficult for the big four team, even Mancester City, until Liverpool have become victims of Wolves. Raul Jimenez will make brave and bring wolves get three points again versus Cristal Palace tonight.

It is more about how people are saying instead of having fans on the stadiums, it should be totally without any fans at all so that the covid numbers could go down. We have peaked to a point where it is looking inevitable that all humans will have it one way or another, because we are not staying at home for some reason (we managed it during March/April/May why not again?) so the only logical result would be all of us getting it one day or another.

However what I do not understand is the fact that if you put that many people into a packed place during a pandemic, you are just telling them all to risk their lives and unfortunately people are idiots enough to actually accept that fate and die from it as well. So, I would say "no fans at all" is just an idea, not announcement but if it were I would get it too.

[DeathAngel]

Nothing to do tonight so I’m about to watch Wolves vs C Palace. Both teams are quite attacking & don’t put much attention on defence so quite looking forward to seeing a few goals (fingers crossed).

Thats kinda like calling for it to happen lol. Its either 1 : 0 for Wolves or 2 : 1. Wolves might be lacking in goals on the first half but Crystal Palace is really bad despite that they win few times.

Last week against Fulham, Crystal Palace had only 34% possession . Crystal Palace won the game but against Fulham which hasnt win any match this season that just prove that they are really bad though. They even has pretty much the same possession against Brighton. It will be another lucky win for Crystal Palace again if they ended up winning this
