Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[shinratensei_]

A lot of prediction websites,people in casinos chat where I play are hinting at a stop of Manchester City tonight,mainly pointing out to a double chance on Brighton win or draw.While I agree that Brighton is good in recent form the fact that they lost 4-1 to Newcastle makes me think that this mean machine that Manchester City is,should have no problems to win tonight if they want to and judging Pep Guardiola mentality they would want to because they want to be in top form before the Champions League final.The odd at 1.95 is also very good as rarely I have seen Manchester City with such odd in Premier League.

2.09 for manchester city now.

To be honest, manchester city will not be playing with the best squads. That's why the bookies were putting high odds for city. Brighton is performing so well this time even pep was praising zerbi as someone who has been changing the whole of club in less than a season. he was giving a very big applause for what already done by zerbi to the brighton. Even though city will be playing with non main squads but i think that city can still be called as a strong team.

I do like the performance from ortega. He was always cleansheet when he was playing with city. City has a very good goal keeper for the future.
There will be some players like alvarez, foden, sergio that will be playing against brighton. Brighton is not so strong to face manchester city.

Im sure that city will able to win even with small score. Pep was just using the remaining match for the training purpose.

Brighton vs Man City match will start tomorrow in Premier League. We have seen that Brighton played very well in the previous matches. But it is very difficult to say which team will win this match. Because Man City is now in the 1st position in Premier League points table.  Yes. Everyone has thought that Man City will win this match. I will bet with Man City support in this match. I hope I will win the bet but if Man City performs poorly then the match will be a draw but there is no way Brighton can win this match.

At least Manchester City never let me down. So I will also bet on Man City in this match. In fact, I might even ignore the fact that Brighton's performance has also been very good in recent weeks. And I will also ignore the fact that Brighton will be playing at home in this game. Because I am also quite sure that Brighton will not be able to win the match against Man City.

Oh wait, I forgot that maybe in this match Pep Guardiola will also not play their mainstay player at the start of the match. Just like the strategy played against Chelsea a few days ago.

  maybe I'll take back what I said in the first paragraph. I will analyze more about this match before deciding to bet on Man City.

[reagansimms]

I don't think Pep Guardiola will take any risks in this match and I'm sure he will field a back-up to avoid fatigue or injury to his core players, Manchester City have already confirmed themselves as Premier League champions this season and their next target is the FA final and UCL final ,

Pep Guardiola is a really smart coach, he knows that he has already won the premier league already so he has been reserving most of his players, if you see their last match against Chelsea, you will see that he didn't use most of his players, he his trying to reserve them ahead of their champions league Match, so that they will have enough rest. Premier League have been secured, his target now is champions league.

Even though Guardiola fielded most of the second line-up, Manchester City were still too tough for Chelsea. Manchester City showed that they deserve to be Premier League champions. Despite being confirmed as EPL champions after Arsenal 0-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest the day before, Manchester City continued to play at a high tempo which prevented Chelsea from taking any chances. Guardiola's reason for backing up the main players makes a lot of sense, Guardiola doesn't want his players to get injured in games that aren't important. There are still two much bigger games for Guardiola to focus on.

Guardiola is setting big targets with Manchester City. After securing the EPL title, Manchester City needed two more important wins as Manchester City faced Manchester United in the FA Cup final and beat Inter in the Champions League final to make history with one season's treble winner.

[...]well one of them will go in a relegation battle with Championship team but either way I am sure it will not be Everton in such battle.

No, it doesn't work like that. Bottom three teams of the PL will be relegated by the end of the season. They won't be facing any relegation battle with Championship team as it doesn't works like that in English football. From Championship, two top teams are promoted directly while the next four teams play in promotion play-offs from where only one team qualifies and gets the final third promotion spot to PL.

The one you specified works in German Football system. I haven't checked other leagues though.

[...] You can chose to bet on Leeds and Liecester trying to escape the relegation zone.

That also can put someone into dilemma. Its not easy as it looks as both Leeds and Leicester have been poor lately and they are up against Spurs and West Ham respectively which are also not an easy opponent despite their out of form performances. Whatever it will be, one of them will relegate for sure. Also Everton could also possibly end up relegated as well. So it is also important for Everton to win against Bournemouth which I think could go Everton's way.

That is the truth you have said. Both Liecester and Leeds are facing not an easy opponents and it will be quite difficult for them to survive. I think it is more possible for Liecester to survive against Westham than for Leeds to survive against Tottenham.

I would rather sit and watch the last gameweek as lot of these games are probably gonna have unexpected results.

The last game will be quite dramatic, but that does not mean we should avoid them. Betting on matches with such tension is the real joy of gambling.

If Leeds and Leicester win their next matches, they will not be out of the relegation zone unless Everton loses their last match against Bournemouth. And I think the chances of Everton losing against Bournemouth are very low. Also, Leeds will be playing against Tottenham. Leeds are unlikely to beat a team as big as Tottenham. And so either Everton or Leicester can stay out of the relegation zone. And I will put the Everton team forward. Although I like the Leicester team. However, their performance this season has been very poor.

Brighton and Manchester City are going to be facing each other tonight. Manchester City have already guaranteed the title so they don't need to get a win in this one. Guardiola would like to preserve some crucial players for the FA Cup and Champions League final games I assume. Therefore there is going to be a serious opportunity for Brighton to get points here.

I wouldn't be surprised even if Brighton win this game. Because winning this game is securing a Europa League ticket for them before the final week. I'm thinking of betting on them but still I won't risk a lot of money of course.

Brighton have a good chance of picking a point from the game against Manchester City because Guardiola is likely to rest some of his starting players in a bid to avoid them tiring out and avoiding injuries at all cost. They already have the title so Brighton will have to deal with a less tougher team and with their form they can get at least a point from this meeting.

I wouldn't be surprised even if Brighton win this game. Because winning this game is securing a Europa League ticket for them before the final week. I'm thinking of betting on them but still I won't risk a lot of money of course.

Psychological advantage is always crucial to winning football games, City have nothing to play for anymore in the EPL this season, Brighton need to win to play in the Europa league next season, they are already guaranteed European football next season, but like their manager said after their last match, they want to it to be the Europa league rather than the Conference league.

Having said that, City need to win today and against Brentford to be in the right mood for the two finals next week, but Pep has to be careful, he would not want one of his most important players to pick up injuries at this stage, when they are so close to achieving something exceptional. Pep is going to rotate today, but i expect some first team players to be involved from the start, as well as others getting a few minutes close to the end to stretch their legs.

Let's say Man City put up a second tier squad so it's ideal to rest a key player. Pep Guardiola does not want to take risks. Apart from that, Brighton has the opportunity to play more openly, the point is that the two teams will be balanced in terms of strength. Even though Brighton is able to get full points it won't change anything in the standings.

Another important match Man United needs to play optimally, at least against Chelsea they can still excel in terms of the effectiveness of Man United players. Erik Ten Hag has the option of a player who is currently in pretty prime condition.

In my opinion, it is difficult to predict who will win at the end of this match, I believe Manchester City has a great chance, but on the other hand, Brighton is also not an arbitrary team that can be underestimated. It was evident from the last match that Brighton was able to beat Arsenal with a score of 3 - 0 and this was very impressive, they managed to disappoint the fans. Brighton is known as a team that can always be a big threat against giant clubs. But on the other hand, I'm sure Guardiola will show all his abilities and the title is in sight, somehow Manchester City must be able to get full points in the remaining matches. Although on the other hand, Brighton and Brentford will not let Guardiola play easily.

Honestly, I could not everly imagine Liecester with their good squad being relegated. Even when they started their season on a very poor note, I was strongly believing that they would bounce back to glory at the middle of the season which they seemed to have done but towards the end of the season, their woes multiplied.
Liecester is going to lose majority of their players should incase they are relegated. Because I don't see players like Maddison Vardy, Iheanacho, Ndidi,  Telimans, Barnes to mention a few will all leave.

Yes and what is also sad about it is that a player like Jamie Vardy now has to go through all of this after experiencing so many amazing seasons with Leicester City. When Vardy decided to extend his contrast last summer until 2024, he didn't think for a second that 9 months later they are about to get relegated into the EFL Championship. I am curious whether he wants to stay with Leicester and go through this and try to be promoted next year or whether he is going to jump ship. Leicester City being relegated is a loss for the EPL in general.

Brighton will make the most of their last home game of the season against Manchester City. One point is enough for the Seagulls to reach their target of playing in the Europa League. Manchester City will definitely not field their best squad in this match because they want to save their ammunition to face the Champions League final and FA Cup final. But I think even though they play a reserve squad they also have considerable strength, I assume The Citizens also don't want to lose even though they are already champions. So a draw seems fair enough for both teams.

Pep Guardiola will definitely not take risks that could endanger their core players in this match. So the strategy used by Pep in this match will probably be the same as yesterday's match against Chelsea. But even though he only plays the second tier, Manchester City's games are always impressive. Even in yesterday's match, Chelsea still had difficulties facing Pep's strategy in that match. and even in this match Brighton might have the same fate. But yeah, I won't be surprised if it turns out that the result of this match is a win for Brighton. But I would probably still bet on Man City. I hope Man City don't let me down like they usually do.

Brighton Albion Hovers at home with sights on playing the europa league next season, winning this game would be a step forward, bit would Pep Guardiola drop his best player's in this game or would he drop them on the bench to protect them for the Champions League finals and also for the Cup final against Manchester United.

Pep Guardiola would want to see his player's in beast mode ahead of the finals against Inter Milan and Manchester United, I don't see him losing even if he brings on his second eleven. But it'll be good for Brighton to win, they've transformed well into a great side ever since they had this manager was appointed.

If Vardy is so dedicated to the club then surely, Vardy will still be playing for Leicester no matter what. Although indeed, when the team is relegated, of course, many of the team's main players will leave, but if they still love Leicester then of course they will continue to help Leicester to recover and return to the Premier League quickly.

But, by the way surprised or not about Leicester being relegated. I personally wasn't surprised at all, because Leicester also didn't make many changes when the transfer window opened. Therefore, with no changes made to their squad, then of course Leicester will be left behind and that has actually happened and has had a disastrous impact on Leicester's performance this season.

Even though Brighton is able to get full points it won't change anything in the standings.

I agree with you that Manchester City definitely don't want to take any chances, and it's likely they will go down with a squad not fully stocked with first-team players, or they won't play them for 90 minutes. The main reason is because they have confirmed themselves to be Premier League champions, and they need a full squad to play in the top matches of the Champions League which will determine whether they will be able to realize their dream so far to win the Champions League, or they have to bury their hopes again. this season and try again next season.

Another important match Man United needs to play optimally, at least against Chelsea they can still excel in terms of the effectiveness of Man United players. Erik Ten Hag has the option of a player who is currently in pretty prime condition.

Actually they only need to win 1 point to ensure they will participate in the Champions League next season to represent the Premier League, but considering what Chelsea has shown this season it would be a shame if they were only able to get a draw. However, this was their chance to win taking advantage of Chelsea's not-so-good conditions. Moreover, Old Trafford is the stadium that will be used for this match.

In the game of football, the fans do not care what scoreline fair and what's not, and I believe it is exactly the same for the players themselves, any team would beat the other hands down if given the opportunity, it's always a survival of the fittest, look at what Brighton did to Arsenal few weeks back, do you really think that 3 goals to nothing was a fair win for Brighton against Arsenal?
Of course not , but Brighton beat Arsenal simply because Arsenal lost its guide - only them know what went wrong actually..

The game between Manchester city and Brighton tonight is a done deal for Manchester city in terms of winning, I believe that even if Manchester city won't be playing with their best squad, they are still likely to win, if not for anything, to keep their winning streak going..

Even though Brighton is able to get full points it won't change anything in the standings.

I also think that manchester city will prepare their core players to face Intermilan later in the CL final or FA final so they will lower the second tier like against chelsea before, Guardiola certainly won't put pressure on his team to get a big win against brighton later especially I'm sure Guardiola only lowered the second tier, but for the sake of self-esteem, of course, Manchester City will not allow Brighton to pick points even though they are playing as hosts.

At least a draw is enough in my opinion or picking a win with a narrow score won't change anything for Manchester City because they have won the league this season especially if Brighton wins it won't change its position from 6th place.
