Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[jakdanyel]

Harry Kane has been performing much better than before since Antonio Conte's arrival here. He has started to score like in the old times. He scored four goals in his last six Premier League matches. This is really promising statistics to me. I think that he might be convinced to stay here thanks to Conte from now on. But it is still a doubtful thing at the same time. Because as long as Tottenham continue to not achieving anything, there is no meaning for Kane to stay here anymore. It would be better for him to go to Manchester City.

Tottenham so far have 23 players in their squad but I only see Kane as a centre-forward. It looks like Tottenham need more than 1 centre-forward now considering Kane is not at his best this season. Out of a total of 19 appearances, Kane has only managed to score 5 goals, a disappointing statistic for a player of such high price. Those are Kane's stats in the Premier League this season, he hasn't found anything good yet and that's a problem for Tottenham's bid to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Conte has no solution to beat the top teams this season because his players are not scoring many goals. Look how they have been beaten by Chelsea this season so many times in two different competitions, it is so bad.

Antonio Conte is definitely not a guaranteed solution indeed. Because Tottenham must bring stronger players to the team and renovate their lineup. Only in this way, they would be able to put up a big fight against the top teams of the league and they wouldn't lose comfortable matches that easily too. They should be able to allocate funds for Conte to make him build a lineup in the way he would like to. He is a great manager but he can do much better than this with a solid lineup like he had while he was managing Inter.

Yes true. We can even say that their defeat in the FA Cup gives them a very good advantage for their forward fixtures. That's why they don't want to compress their main squad with the matches of the FA Cup. That's why regular defeats might work for these teams. This is a long standing system. Maybe there can be such a surprise in the Manchester City-Fulham game today.

I don't think it's luck for Manchester, because after all a big team is required to be able to get every trophy there is, even though the FA trophy is not very prestigious but the trophy should be an achievement for Rangnick at the end of the season, indeed now Manchester is still have hope in champions league but their journey to win a trophy in the champions league is not an easy thing, besides that manchester lowered its main squad against middlesbrough, but instead they suffered a defeat, then how can they be favorites when facing tough teams in the premier league and league champions later?

Liverpool - Leicester seems to be the biggest game of the oncoming week in the Premier League. Liverpool are lacking two important players now due to the AFCON: Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. Both of them are very critical players for the team right now. Especially Salah has done a great work so far. But these players both are in the final of the AFCON and it is tomorrow night. As the league game is four days after it, I'm having high doubts about their possibility of playing against Leicester starting from the first minute of it. But we would surely see them in the second half if Liverpool struggle until then. But I believe that they will win this game.

I don’t think it’s true that Manchester United wanted an exit, or this loss is a blessing in disguise because this loss is yet another reminder that things under Rangnick aren’t working that great, and losing player’s like Martial and Van De Beek isn’t looking good for the team. Lastly I believe that Pogba can help us secure a top 4 finish, if he remains fit then I feel there’s a slim chance that Manchester United will make it to champions league next season.

We are going to see only the Burnley - Watford game today. And this can be a really competitive game at the same time. Watford seem to be an a little more credible team to me now. Their attacking power is bigger than Burnley and the only thing they need is a good game plan against Burnley. Because they are really an annoying team sometimes in their home games. Watford should take control of the game earlier and get a good advantage. Otherwise they could come across a big resistance.

The FA Cup may not be Man United's priority this season, but still it would be better if Man United could win the FA Cup trophy. Because a good team is
a team that can get a lot of trophies, then with Man United being eliminated from the FA Cup it is not a profitable thing. Don't make it an advantage that
with Man United eliminated in the FA Cup it can concentrate on other competitions, Man United should be able to set a strategy in order to survive
in all competitions. What hurts more is Man United having to lose to Middlesbrough, which Middlesbrough is not a team from the Premier League.
So it must be admitted that Man United's performance was very disappointing, this will make the morale of Man United players fall. I doubted Man United
could beat Atletico in the Champions League, and also there is a possibility this season also Man United failed to enter the top 4.

apart from Manchester United games I see every top team is not really serious with the FA Cup, only for lower-middle teams are serious about lowering the main squad and the best formation scheme.  Big team defeats in the FA are commonplace and it's as if this defeat is not a big deal, In fact, this defeat gives a fortune for them because it reduces their busy schedule and gives them more time to focus on important games on league or UCL.

There is a lot of truth in your words, but this is a general situation. If we talk about yesterday's match, then United played with the first team and there is no doubt that they planned to win. But in the end, we saw another unexpected result from them and many betters got their multi bets collapsed (if I'm not mistaken, the odds of Manchester United winning were 1.3 and it is obvious that many betters chose this game because they thought that the result is guaranteed here).

Manchester United have an easy opponent ahead of them on the next week of the PL. Burnley are not a big competition for them as they are at the last place in the standings currently. As they lost some of their important players in the last transfer window too, they wouldn't have any other thing to do rather than trying to defend Manchester United. But I see Manchester United playing a positive football now. They are much better than before and I believe that they can win this game too by one or two-goal difference.

Basically I also decided Watford to win, but I'm still considering whether Roy Hodgson will be able to produce a good result in such a short time. I am aware that Watford have sacked Claudio Ranieri after losing by Norwich 3-0 in the previous match, something I have taken into consideration is usually the new coach still needs time to produce good results. This is a competition between the bottom ranking teams which of course will both try to get full points, because at least they currently seem to have the same ability because if we consider from head to head they don't have a higher dominance either.

After being knocked out of the FA Cup the chances of Manchester United are getting a trophy at the end of the season are very small, they certainly will not be able to catch the points collected by Manchester City who are at the top of the standings. In the Champions League Manchester United will have a difficulty faced other big teams. PSG, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Chelsea and Juventus are the teams that must be wary of MU.
After suffering a painful loss to Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, Manchester United must get up soon in the next game, they still have a tough task to secure the top 4 position until the end of the season.

Newcastle - Everton is one of the opening matches on the new week. Newcastle made some new transfers and I wonder how much powerful they will be in the rest of this season. They couldn't have made transfers like they imagined yet after being bought by rich people. But they should be focusing on not relegating for now. As they have still added decent players, we will see how they will perform against Everton. Everton are experiencing a terrible season now. Maybe this could be an opportunity to win for Newcastle but I think it would end in a draw.

Instead of Newcastle i personally more interested to watching Everton performance under new coach Frank Lampard because he had heavy job to fix team performance and 13 matches without winning seems not good to survive in EPL and currently Everton position on the league also not really good so i'm curious to know will he be able to take Everton avoiding from the relegation zone

I have said it before that big names, or the best Coaches, it doesn’t win games.  Tactical discipline and mentality does the job. How comes Middlesbrough of all will come to Old Trafford to beat Glory Glory Manchester United. Something is wrong somewhere, Manchester United played with all their 1st team players and still lost against Midlesbrough in this importantant match is unacceptable. When I watched the game and had done the analysis, I don’t blame Ralf Rangnick for this poor result.
Ronaldo he is totally finished matter. Bruno missed open goal. Luke shaw was poor. So I don’t why why people are blaming the Coach.

That's the risk of being a coach, they are always the target of a loss or a bad game. In fact, if viewed objectively the coach is not completely wrong, they have implemented the best possible strategy, but there are 11 players who are the executor on the field.
But the audience, especially the management, didn't want to know what was going on. They just want to win every game, somehow.

I think Manchester United did not put in enough effort to win this match.  As expected on the field, they were the team that played more with the ball.  However, if you score a goal and concede 1 goal, you have to be prepared for all the consequences.  One of them is defeat.  Despite being eliminated on penalties, Middlesbrough's defeat was a disaster.  There is no excuse for losing this game.

How about both teams to score today at Burnley - Watford ? the odds are fine , both teams needs points and I'm sure both teams will try to score tonight. Burnley right now is playing a much more attractive football and a modern one I would say but Watford is not doing this as they're still trapped in that old style that made them relegate 2 years ago.

[izsara]

I agree with what you are doing by not betting there.
Although MU is very favored but on the other hand sometimes their performance is also not very consistent, especially against the teams below them.
other than that 1.29 I don't think it's worth betting there as it's still a bit riskier if you look at the total available bets.
I also won't be in this bet even though MU is still very favored

Should be good match with chances being given mostly to those who are in bench for United. So likely Cavani and Sancho might feature in this match and also possible that some defensive changes will be there. And honestly, I don't know why but I find more confidence in the team on bench more than the regular squad they select against the PL matches. Should be an easy match for United but well let's see, United have tendency to drop these kind of matches.

Lucky are those who are not included in this bet.
I've said from the start, they sometimes play worse when they play against teams below them and that's happening now.
From a mastery point of view, it is clear, especially from a caste difference. But on the side of their dominance only lies in attack but their final finishing is very far from expectations.
I feel a lot of people believe in United too much that they don't pay attention to anything else there.

The result of the penalty kick is quite surprising. Man United are really unreliable and they have had to suffer an unexpected result. I think it's a tough task to change coaches and it doesn't result in a match. So it becomes a big question whether Man United is no longer productive? while every result always convinces them to win. When viewed against Middlesbrough was very far from the initial target. Now the final result is a crushing blow.

Ronaldo or all players can not have 100% success rate on penalty shot so don't attack him because of one missed penalty. To be fair for Ronaldo, he is one of best players for Manchester United, in general and on penalty shot in particular.

Even if Ronaldo is 5 years old younger, Manchester United can not rely on him to get success and end their crisis. Bruno Fernandez 3 seasons ago, brought some positive effects when he joined Old Trafford but now let's see he can not able to maintain it. It can be because his performance is worse or problems in the club are more seriously.

^^ Ronaldo penalty was a good opportunity but it's a team game and others should have done well to score. United were good it just that the result didn't end the way they wanted. They had good possession and good amount of shots and there were some very close chances. I am still thinking about why Cavani wasn't available for this one, he should have made a great difference.

True, Cavani presence was seen during his appearance against West Ham. At that time the entry of Cavani made a change with 1 point which Rashford could anticipate. Inevitably, the final score is not too good for the stability of Manchester United where they need a winning score to keep themselves away from West Ham who is only 1 point adrift. Even then 4th position is still a big threat if West Ham is able to win from Watford on Wednesday.

Any one can actually miss out in a penalty shoot out. The anger of the fans is that this was Manchester opportunity to proceed to the next stage of the FA cup but was wasted after a nice ball possession and goal attempts. Although Ronaldo still tried his best but the results didn't come in as expected. Would Cavani had made any difference If he was fit for the match who really knows? The did has been done and what I'm seeing Manchester united might end this season trophyless
