Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[DeathAngel]

New season but it's old shitty Manchester United. Lost on their home ground lol. This defender Maguire cost them 83million lol. How they bought it? Because of English Media hype.

Thank god didn't put any money on them.

Nothing will change until they get a proper manager in with a track record of being successful, winning trophies. How the hell Solksjaer got the job, I don’t know. He is nowhere near qualified enough to get that position. Man Utd won’t be getting anywhere near the title for a good few years.

[cryptofrka]

How the hell Solksjaer got the job, I don’t know.

He was their short-term solution and managed to get great initial results. They rewarded him with a 3-year contract after that and now they are paying for his inexperience.

But, to be honest, I think Solskjaer is not the problem. He's not a manager for United, but he's managing well with what he's got. Woodward is the big problem there and I'm fascinated that he's still keeping his position.

Long may it continue!

People has been criticizing Woodward for years but he still keeps his position. To be honest, Im not even shocked with the result today. It feels this is kinda classic Manchester United's game where they flop against team like crystal palace in their first game of the season . Crystal Palace now 'seems' like a solid team after getting 2 wins in a row lol !

Meanwhile Arsenal won the game, all today's game ended with favourites to win the game except for Manchester United

[coinlocket$]

I hate these seasons when the market is still open during the League.

It's nice to see Everton and Arsenal in the top even you know is only the second game with 1 game of advantage

[Smartvirus]

yeah, Leeds seems to be playing only 4:3 scores this season, one win, one lose, but both with seven goals and 4:3 score

Lol,,, seems they love that score line. Who would blame them, when they kick start their first game of the season with a team like Liverpool. I guess they are bent on keeping the pace. Seriously, they are a team to watch out for this season. Leeds!

Manchester United have been beaten by 3 goals to 1 at Old Trafford. lol
Their old boy Zaha Managed to bag 2 goals against them. Honestly Man United to do more recruitment especially at the defense if they really want to contend for the title. Their back line is in shambles.

It's not obvious, Manchester United don't do so well when it is expected of them. Always having a hard time with small teams and that's why, they are not my choice in placing a bet.

Just yesterday, we talked about Manchester United always messing up when much is expected from them. Today's result once again proved that. No offense to Man Utd fans on the forum but they were quite wasteful upfront  and at the back. De gea had to be called in one too many to make crucial saves.  It's a shame they got beaten in their first game of the season at their home against a mid-tier team. If they keep up with performances like this, they'd be no where near the top of the table.

I agree with you. The market should be closed before the season starts. Changing players after the season has already started always causes unrest in the clubs concerned. Of course, there should be exceptions like in the current Corona phase where seasons start very differently in leagues.

We surely did talk and for a fact, I don't see them within the top four position on the league table. Manchester United team has got a lot of work on the orientation of it's team. De gea has been the grace of the team as far as I can tell, he's errors are only seen to arise from a slack in the defence.

It might seem unusual but, a necessity. A lot is been done to keep up the spirit of sportsmanship amongst fans. Imagine big leagues playing without selling viewing tickets. What a loss! But then, the fans have got to be entertained and the games is got to get going.
The season is already unusual with the way it starts, no breaks and all that so, unusual adjustment is a necessity.

@arallmuus I knew we were going to loose this game badly the moment I saw the team sheet, because he played two fringe player’s (Fosu-Mensah and James) instead of starting Greenwood and Van De Beek or Matic. Also in my opinion Solskjaer has surrendered to the board, and he only keeps saying things to keep them in good light, but if Sancho and a defender yet comes then this season can yet be saved.

Those concerns would have intensified on Saturday night just before United's belated start when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer named Dan James, whose form plummeted in the final third of last season

Exciting matches yesterday, this went as many would have predicted/odds favour except for Manchester united and crystal palace where Crystal palace beat Manchester united.

Today's games

+ Southampton vs Tottenham: both lost their opening matches but arrival of bale would strengthen Tottenham, I predict a win for them.

+ Newcastle vs Brighton: a win for Newcastle

+ Chelsea vs Liverpool: the big game of today, the champions are at it against Chelsea it won't be an easy game, I would be going for a win for Liverpool with both team scoring.

+ Leicester vs Burnley: hard to pick/predict the winner from them, I predict both team scores.

Is Bale already playing today for the Spurs? Transfer was only confirmed yesterday, so I doubt that he'll be on the pitch today already. Probably some Covid-tests have to be taken first?! But even without Bale, I see Tottenham as the favourites in todays match.

I am most excited about Chelsea - Liverpool. As I already mentioned earlier, pretty sure we will see a lot of goals in that match. Both teams to score is a good call, condsidering the powerful offensive on both sides. A bet on over 2.5 or maybe even over 3.5 could also be an option. Liverpools defense looks a bit shaky since quite some time now (they haven't kept a clean sheet since the 34th matchday last season).

[Globb0]

Here is the days head to head matchups.



I see a few tight games.

I haven't decided yet, I may keep the powder dry on this one.

[hilariousetc]

Here are 2 out of my 4 tickets for today, avoiding Man Utd on purpose, something feels a bit wrong about this match for me.

Good call. I backed them to win but I should have avoided them now in retrospect.

Wtf is going on at the Everton vs WBA match?  I'm not watching the game but it seems like there's a few LOL_Ancelloti moments in there.

There was a lol moment with Bilic when he got sent off.

New season but it's old shitty Manchester United. Lost on their home ground lol. This defender Maguire cost them 83million lol. How they bought it? Because of English Media hype.

Thank god didn't put any money on them.

I had no idea they paid that much for him. He's bang average in my opinion. I also have no idea how he became their captain but that just goes to show you what sort of team they are these days.

For unknown reasons there are targeted criticism at Maguire, is it his cost as a defender? or pure hatred vibes?
The entire Manchester united team were total shambles from start to finish. Fosu-mensah was no where to be found for the first goal, while Shaw left his marker with over 4 yards of space; meanwhile Lindelof was guilty for all 3 goals, for the first and third goal, he was bungled out of a tackle he should have won two times, and got unfortunate with a ball to hand situation.

I just don't think he's that good, but Man U aren't great right now either. He didn't even make the current England squad which says a lot.

It doesn't matter what manager they have; it's the shitty team. They've already had managers who won stuff but they just sack them as soon as they lose a few games.

I hate these seasons when the market is still open during the League.

The transfer market? It's always open at the start of the season as far as I'm aware. Personally I think it should close before the league starts. Teams shouldn't be having new players come in during it in my opinion.

No. He's already out for a month with an injiury:

https://metro.co.uk/2020/09/18/gareth-bale-out-for-at-least-a-month-with-current-knee-injury-13293803/

This guy seems to always either be injured or on the bench. I wonder if Spurs are regretting this signing already. 12 million for a year is a huge sum. Would only make sense if they manage to get him for free when his Real contract expires.

Manchester United started their inaugural match in the Primier League with very disappointing results, having to surrender from Crystal Palace with a very high score of 1-3, especially when they played at Old Trafford's own home. This result is very bad for Manchester United considering their target this season is to be a competitor for Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea in the race for the Premier League champions. Manchester United have full team faced with Crystal Palace with Pogba and Bruno Fernandez and mielfielder but they have face with lost last night.

Pogba being known as a world class player is a myth. When was the last time he put in top class performances, consistently over a significant period of time? He was good for France when they won the World Cup but he’s been bang average for Man Utd, arguably since he joined them.

He hasn’t kicked on & repeated his Juve form as a young player. He’s more interested in posting on instagram to display his wealth & dyeing his hair stupid colours.

[tomahawk9]

my goodness,, Southampton playing with a highline against Spurs, just why? they conceded a goal in the 1st half because of this, cuz the opponent exploited this weakness, and Southampton still haven't made a change, even after conceding 4 goals make it 5  

i actually pointed this out last week (them playing high up the pitch), it's one thing to do it vs. Palace, but it's different against Tottenham and their world class players. they better change things up for the upcoming games, they honestly don't know what they're doing in the backline

edit* off to a good start today https://i.ibb.co/fdSHZS8/poker.png

A bet on over 2.5 or maybe even over 3.5 could also be an option. Liverpools defense looks a bit shaky since quite some time now (they haven't kept a clean sheet since the 34th matchday last season).

and Chelsea's isn't that great either, plus they have one of the worst GKs in the league Kepa (will he play today or Caballero?)...my main ticket for this match is Liverpool handicap https://i.ibb.co/T8mxJjq/coco.png but i think i might put some money on Liverpool O1.5 at 1.94 odds

Machester United has terrible defense system. With it, they won't go far this season. Crystal Palace destroyed United's defense system too easy.

Pogba is a joke. He is talented but to say he is in top-class players. I am sorry he does not.

Pogba is over-priced and he is too selfish to play for his teammates. The time when Pogba played well is in Juventus but when he got very good supports from midfielder around him. Pirlo is one of them. Pogba is not a sort of key player that can carry a team.

Since he join from Juventus to Manchester United, I dont believe Pogba will be able to make the contribution that can take the team to the top and win the league. He does have talent as one of the big player, but I agree to say that he is too selfish and not a key player. It was a bad start for Manchester United because of the result, but it is not too late for them to make changes in areas that are still fragile as the season has just started.

In Premier League probably, here in Italy we usually have 1 week while the market is open and the season is started.

Last year we got 0 weeks, this year since we have the COVID situation 3.
Usually, Serie A will start in late September since is very hot here while in England they have a median of 10-15 °C less.

[snipie]

What's wrong with 7 goals these days? Southampton 2 - 5 Tottenham, 4 goals scored by Son!
For Chelsea - Liverpool it is still 0 - 0 after 13 minutes. It will end with 3 or 7 goals?
