Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Iroh]

Luckily, Raphael Varane managed to score a goal in the 76 minute. Erik ten Hag shouldn't be too happy if he only gets one goal; unless Manchester United manage to score more than two goals, then that would be a source of pride. Wolves also attempted more shots at goal, so it can be said that Manchester United were lucky to win this match.

I think Manchester United could have performed better than they did and they were somewhat lucky to have gotten a goal that ultimately gave them the win in the game. If you had looked more closely at what I had wrote, you would have noticed I sad Ten Hag would be proud of having brought the goalie, Onana into the squad. He’s already proving to be really useful and this is shown in the game with Wolves. He saved a lot of goal bound balls as Wolves made several attempts at scoring a goal.

A win is a win irrespective of how many goals were scored. At the end of the game, Manchester United claimed the 3 points for themselves and that’s what important.

[X-ray]

In the first week of the EPL, only 6 teams managed to secure 3 points and the rest only shared the same 1 point or even no one got any points at all. Currently, Newcastle is at the top of the standings, followed by Brighton, Manchester City and Arsenal. But there is still one more match left for the first week of the EPL and today will bring together Manchester United vs Wolves.

Of course, Manchester United is definitely favored because it will be the host and I'm quite curious to wait for Rasmus Hojlund's debut wearing the red devil jersey later. It is likely that Erik ten hag will appear directly with his main squad and seeing Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs only get one point, this will be an opportunity for him to push to the top if he manages to beat Wolves.

I'm expecting a lot from this match especially and I've also included Manchester United as one of my multi favourite bets for the first match in the EPL.



The issue of Wolves still not finding common ground and still in transition from a change of coach a few days before the EPL opens obviously makes my hopes realised for this one.

On the other hand, looking at the current H2H I think Manchester United will definitely make some good noise because in the last 5 matches of Manchester United against Wolves the result is Manchester United won 4 and lost 1.

Nice one. I have picked MU as the winner for the last match and my bet goes well. I just tyr to take the safe bet and everything is going perfectly without any problem. The upcoming week will be far harder than this to bet especially for the match between manchester city vs newcastle.
Anyone is starting to hyping that match. Im sure that if anyone will be aware of how hard to predict the winner between newcastle vs m city.

I will pick city over newcastle but the odds were only having a small gap. The previous week was very good. Any prediction goes perfectly. I hope the same thing gonna happen next season too.

[zuzie]

I’m glad Manchester United still won the game and clinched the 3 points. And yes, I had high hopes having Onana defending the goalposts and he didn’t disappoint as he came out with a clean sheet.
Wolves also surprised me a bit with their performance as they had put some pressure on United’s goal in a bid to score but Onana was not having any of it. Ten Hag must be proud of himself for having brought him into the squad. Despite Manchester United having slightly more of the ball in their possession, Wolves managed to get more attempts at goal than United did. Perhaps, Man United had underestimated them a little bit going into the game.

True Manchester United is not in the best game overall their game is unsatisfactory in my opinion they have not been able to compete in the top standings
Manchester United was lucky to win even though Wolves seemed more dominating they have many shot opportunities but there are no goals.
Rasmus Højlund as a new player has not been able to show his best performance, we can understand maybe he needs adaptation.

Manchester united capitalized on the game and stole it at a moment we were starting to think the game was gonna end in a draw. If I wanna be neutral I'll say Manchester united didn't deserve the win they got tonight as a draw would have made the game parallel for both sides. The team was struggling and not possessing the ball as we had expected for a team like Manchester United against an average EPL team like wolves. If they continue this way then they're going to experience a hard season ahead.

You are free to have your say about the performance and the outcome of the game but I do not agree that winning is not deserved. Manchester United struggled to win the game and they struggled to do so throughout the first half, but it all came midway through the second half. Wolves had many good chances to score, but poor finishing didn't help them get a goal until the end of the game.

For me it was a very interesting match, I mean both teams have a threatening game. Wolves tried harder to score goals, but they had to admit today's loss to Manchester United. No regrets, they have tried.

You are right, Man United did not deserve what it takes to win that match last night, wolves was a better sides unlike Man United. They should have scored in the both halves of the game but they really lacked goal scorer to lead the attack. That is something to improve on really. If they can continue this way this season they will finish better unlike the previous season.
Man United had no midfied, Mason Mount was poor, Rashford too dull, the defenders and Onana wrapped it up for United. Golden Goal from Varane else it wouldn't have ended three points for United.

[Jatiluhung]

I didn't see anything special in the second half from Manchester United, but it was Wolves who did the better in the build-up. Wolves almost succeeded in breaking into Andre Onana's goal several times, but Onana's good performance still managed to save him.

Perhaps, Man United had underestimated them a little bit going into the game.

Everyone must be surprised by what Wolves showed in that match. Because I was just as surprised. All who bet on Manchester United must have felt the same tension as Wolves continued to build up attacks that always came close to a goal. The attack speed built by Wolves' front line players was able to trouble Man United's back line. If I had the Wolves players' shots on target then I think Man United could have conceded a few goals in this game. Fortunately Man United's back line and Onana's movement were able to close the gap to Man United's goal. which made it difficult for the Wolves forwards to finish well.

But I'm relieved because in the end Man United can win this fight. It's really a fight that I think is so tense. Because I originally thought that it was Man United who would continue to put pressure on the Wolves defensive area. But it turned out that Wolves were able to keep up and even suppress Man United's defense.

[Strongkored]

After some criticism from Manchester United fans throughout the pre-season games, it was a fantastic start for Manchester United and a great first Premier League performance for Ander Onana, who made key crucial saves in the encounter. Wolves appear well prepared for the match since they made United's job difficult, but Manchester United has lately been able to give the difference in the score line, which is a strong start to the season.

Manchester United were lucky enough to break the deadlock after their attackers failed to find the net, their mainstay defender caught on and provided the only goal of the game to earn Manchester United a win over Wolves.
Wolves will always be a formidable opponent for strong teams. Their game is pretty good, and it can be seen in this first match, how they can keep up with their opponents, and even managed to make more kicks towards Man United's goal, more on target than their opponent.
This victory at least gives hope to Man United that they are indeed experiencing good development, but unfortunately, the failure of their attackers in this match has kept them from looking not so solid, and Ten Hag still have a lot of homework to do to make their attackers sharper.

Manchester United opened their first Premier League game of the season with a hard-fought win over Wolves. Wolves gave resistance to Manchester United by building several attacks that troubled Manchester United defense, tactics from Wolves made Manchester United seem to be carried away with the rhythm of play used by the visitors which made many passes from Manchester United players easy for Wolves players to read.

Ten Hag immediately changed his team's game tactics in the second half, the results were very effective. Varane made a difference in this game with one goal which made Manchester United manage to score three points in this game. Andre Onana managed to keep the net without conceding a goal, he managed to make his debut with Manchester United in a win. Mason Mount also played quite well even though he had just been brought in from Chelsea. This victory is very important for Manchester United, Ten Hag must be able to develop his team's game so that it is more effective in creating opportunities and not easily provoked by the rhythm of the opponent's game.

Erik Ten Hag, the head coach of the Manchester United team, still has a lot of work to do because the team is still struggling to meet up game before they can eventually net a goal, even after all of the long shots and enormous counter attacks. The visitors' stunning performance at Old Trafford would have taken United by surprise. The red devils' dominance on the pitch did not demonstrate that they had everything under control; most of their players were not meeting up their expectations rather, they defended because Wolves put so much pressure on them to score. Even the rookie goalkeeper, Andre Onana, produced some spectacular saves and deserved to be acknowledged after the game. Without the Cameroonian, United would have conceded more goals that they would not expect to concede.

Wolves appear well prepared for the match since they made United's job difficult, but Manchester United has lately been able to give the difference in the score line, which is a strong start to the season.

I don't think it is a great start for Man United. They actually played worse than Wolves, they made lower shot attempts. They only made 3 shot on targets from total 15 shot attempts. While Wolves can make 23 shot attempts and 6 shot on targets. However, Man United has a better accuracy in shooting although Man United attackers actually failed to score goals. Varane who could score 1 goal and make Man United won today.

If Man United only can perform like today match, I doubt they can compete for the title. It is a home match but they are difficult to win. I can't image if they are playing a strong team today. They may miss 3 points in the first match of this season.

Yes, a narrow win of 1-0 it's not an optimal result, but the 3 points obtained by Man United are still a good start. Man United didn't play as expected, they seem to be struggling to develop their rhythm. I think Ten Hag should be doing an evaluation so that Man United can show the expected performance and they can play consistently. Maybe it will take a little time, considering there are 3 new players who of course still need time to adapt.

[Despairo]

This guy is always showing a horrible performance. Does chelsea scammed MU? BTW he always became a trending topic on twitter once MU was facing another club. Even so many red devil fans are also blaming his performance.
Is he worth 65 millions? I personally think that ten hag was making the wrong decision here. MU was able winning the game against wolves with small scores. The midfielder of the club has been performing so badly.

Probably, quite surprising he has not show any contribution for the club when he ever win a champions league and face so many strong clubs. It's not about first match in Premier League, but this guy already played 7 matches with Manchester United regardless it's a friendly match or not.

After some criticism from Manchester United fans throughout the pre-season games, it was a fantastic start for Manchester United and a great first Premier League performance for Ander Onana, who made key crucial saves in the encounter.

It's a fantastic start for Andre Onana, but a bad start for Manchester United where Martinez were making many blunders and Mount didn't show any contribution.

I was expecting Manchester United to score goals above 2.5 margin, but was surprised they could only get one, which of course came from a defender, Varane.
You are absolutely right that the team needs more games to find their rhythm, mostly as new players have joined the team.
Good game for Onana for keeping the post tidy, in more games however, we will get to see why he is a better option in post duty.

[Polkeins]

Finally Manchester United were able to score in the 76th minute through Raphael Varane's header, a pass from Wan-Bissaka. The minutes of extra time were tense as the Wolves players continued to attack to score but keeper Andre Onana made several saves.
Anyway, did you guys see one spectator in black take to the field to mess with the Wolves players when they go on the attack, and that is very worrying.

The game is over, and the score is Manchester United vs Wolves 1-0.

Why do you think this is a great start? Wolverhampton easily passed the midfield and created chances and generally played better than Manchester City and if it wasn't for Onana, it could have been a draw or even a defeat for Manchester City. Van Bissaka played a great match and if it wasn't for his pass, the score would have probably remained 0-0.

All in all, it was an incomprehensible start for Manchester City, I would say, and I would ask Ten Hag questions about the pre-season preparation.

At least Man United managed to pack the first three points even though they were only able to beat Wolves with a narrow score of 1-0. Ten Hag clearly wanted his team to win in their first match, they managed to win in front of their supporters even though the results were not optimal. Ten Hag needed to break the ice for the players to connect with each other in developing a rhythm of play, the first match did not go as expected, Man United players were not optimal in taking advantage of opportunities and a style of play that was easy for opposing players to predict. The process of forming a squad to connect with each other takes time until the next few matches, I think Ten Hag is able to do it based on the success achieved by Man United last season.

[borovichok]

Gunners were amazing in their opening EPL game this season, making positive impact on the faces of the supporters and the board. More elite clubs have improved their shapes and strengthened their vulnerabilities; it's truly phenomenal to see the Gunners compete at such an outstanding level both last season and this season. This time around, Arsenal will be scrutinized extensively. They had a fire in them that would accelerate them to become a dominant rival for the EPL crown. Mikel Arteta has bolstered his squad, and there is a great deal to be discovered about this fresh game plan.

Manchester United did not expect that Wolves will be as difficult as they were to beat. Manchester United were extremely Lucky thanks to Bissaka and Varane. Manchester United did not look like themselves and were unable to find the chemistry and create good chances. If wolves had not been unlucky and lacking in goal scoring finishing, they would have won that game by at least three goals because they were able to create very good chances for themselves, some of which were wasted, others were saved. The new coach of Wolves did a good job preparing his players for their first game and against such a big opponent. There is so much for them to improve on.

Its seems normally first Premier League match for Manchester United get difficult winning against Wolves, attacking line players not effective and Varane success become the hero with the only one goal contributed and Manchester United success get three points. But new Manchester United goal keeper Andre Onana have impressive performance in his debut after many crucial saves and first match in Premier League success made clean sheet. Home work for Erik tan Hag on second match many side have improving, not only on attacking line but also on defense until how to make consistent performance from Mason Mount, he looks not impressive performance in the first match for Manchester United and waiting with new strike Rasmus Hojlund will success become Haaland competitor or not.

[Sebas.tian]

First round of fixtures comes to a close. It was an interesting weekend after several weeks of hiatus. The most interesting match for me was the Liverpool vs Chelsea game (I'm biased).  Teams I'm watching out for this season imclude: City, Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool and Brighton.

What was your favorite game and first impression of the first 2023/2024 games this season ?

Manchester city was my favorite match that made me to believe that they will still repeat the same thing in this season to lift the premier league title again, because they are the only strong team to defeated their opponent 3-0 in the first match in the premier league, which other teams struggle to  defeated their opponents. Chelsea showcased some signs that show their manager brought the right players into the team in this season, because some of their new players were playing as if they have played premier league before because they were able to dominate from the first half to the second half to equalized the goal 1-1 to draw the match. I think Arsenal manager need to go and prepare the players well because their midfield was not too strong in this first match despite they defeated their opponent 2-1, but their manager have to work on their midfielders before their next match.

Although Manchester United managed to secure victory in the first match. Then I would think that he could not perform much better than the opposition team. Comparatively, both the teams played almost equally. Manchester United need to perform better.

I watched this match and 2 goals occurred through impressive action unfortunately in the second half there was another goal except Nottingham who scored one goal. Arsenal still use the style of playing like last season so we won't see many changes but something that is worrying for Arsenal is consistency, we know that Arsenal always lose consistency at the beginning or at the end of the season sometimes even Arsenal missed important moments like last season and let Manchester City take over, Arteta must find a way to overcome it.

[3meek]

Man U were very lucky to beat Wolves in last night's home game... Wolves had 23 shots, 6 of which were on target... That's twice as many as Man U... I didn't expect Wolves to play so well at the start of this season... But Man U definitely need to think about their game, with such successes it will be very difficult for them...
