Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[JeffBrad12]

I'm not sure if this is an important match or not what is clear is don't be too confident on one side. Indeed, Manchester City deserves to be the favorite to win because they have a better history and statistics it's just that sometimes the unexpected can happen for example they play young or new players well this can mess up our predictions so it's better to wait a few hours before the match starts to see the starting lineup. By the way so far the sportsbooks Stake.com prefer Manchester City and both teams to score YES and over goals are still the favorites to place bets, I don't think both teams think about playing defensively meaning the fight will go on until the last minute and let's wait for the next 4 days.

City won't play purely defensively but it could happen that they control the ball all game (without trying to take risks, playing "for sure"), then United will have big problems to score a goal. So I'm not at all confident in BTTS. I'll probably just place a simple bet on City, as it will be a normal game (and not a game where City players have not had time to sober up from drinking in honor of the title) as I expect them to justify their status as favorites.

I see nothing special in this game. We know the FA Cup is more prestigious than the Community Shield. I prefer to bet on a City win. United beat City in last season's FA Cup, but I'm not sure if City will play with their full squad. And losing in this game doesn't make one of these clubs a loser. 
United had a few new players. They have not yet integrated with their system. I take double chance as my safe zone to bet. Also, winning or losing doesn't matter in this game. I see it as a glorified friendly match between Manchester United and Manchester City.

One shot on target and we have a goal in the friendly between Madrid vs Chelsea, I just hope that before the end of the game we won't be having a fresh complain from the Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca because it seems like is what we're going to be getting from him especially whenever things doesn't work as planned next campaign.
The Chelsea squad look fresh to take on this Madrid side but they lack that togetherness, playing with much confidence and I don't see anything too special about the Madrid side that can drop the morale of the Blues, they can get something in this game if they go all out after all nothing much is at stake, they (Chelsea) should just avoid defeat.

So it is clear that Ten Hag's selfish attitude was the main trigger for his failure to bring Manchester United back to its glory days. Therefore, Ten Hag really has to change his attitude if he really wants to be able to bring Manchester United to become champions. And you are right my friend, that this season will definitely be a defining season for Ten Hag. Because if Ten Hag fails this season, he will definitely be fired from Manchester United's coaching.

I removed some part of your post due to how lengthy it is. I don't think Manchester united management is ready to fire Ten Hang because there is no perfect time to fire him than at the end of last season when clubs who were not satisfied with their couch fire them. Everyone expected to wake up to the news of Ten Hang sack but were all shocked hearing that he will continue as the head couch. He has a very good relationship with the management crew and that's what is keeping him. I quite agree that they have players who have potential but then injury is giving them tough time and Ten Hang on the other hand doesn't know how to make good use of the available ones with his preference and selection.

As far as I know Manchester United are banking on their current manager for one more season. Manchester United did not get good results under this manager yet Manchester United gave the manager another chance. 

If Manchester United stick to their singular decision this transfer season, if they extend their current manager's contract for another season, I would assume this is the last chance for Ten Hag. If Ten Hag fails to deliver good performance this season, Manchester United will definitely fire this manager without thinking about next season. But now there are rumors that Manchester United could change this manager. 
Basically when the transfer window opens there are many such rumors and all kinds of rumors are likely to come true now it remains to be seen whether Manchester United will trust their old manager or hand over the reins of their club to another manager.

Ten Hag was expected to be fire around the end of past season but Manchester United decided to continue with him at least one more season. It's not easy to say this decision is good or bad because he will have one more season to defend his coach position. Manchester United will use a next season to assess his work and at this moment, there is no enough more evidence from Manchester United to make a tough decision against Ten Hag.

But now there are rumors that Manchester United could change this manager.

I see it is pure rumor, nothing more than that. If Manchester United did not sack Ten Hag months ago but oppositely decided to use him, it does not make sense to sack him now when a new season is in the air.

There wasn't much Chelsea could do in the friendly matches they played recently and today Chelsea was defeated by Real Madrid with a narrow score of 1:2 Chelsea also didn't make many shots. I also don't think Chelsea can beat Real Madrid because in the previous match they were defeated by Man City.
Chelsea got less than satisfactory results and I also didn't expect many to criticize Enzo Maresca because Chelsea lost in this pre-season match even though we don't know what the coach will do when the season starts later.

as I predicted before Chelsea and Real Madrid will definitely not score more than 4 goals.

Dude, Chelsea hasn't improved. They keep getting fresh complaints. Some Real Madrid players are back from their holiday. They are not fit to play, like Rodrygo. But Chelsea's defense looks so disastrous to fight Real Madrid players. I'm really disappointed. Chelsea's defense has never improved at all.
Also, the season hasn’t even started, and teams have already figured out how to beat Chelsea. Just sit and wait for Chelsea's defense to make mistakes. This is not funny how Maresca's system doesn't fit Chelsea's roster.

Some nonsense things happened in the game. They put Malo Gusto at midfielder. This wasted Gusto's attacking potential with this inverted RCB nonsense. Chelsea fans must be tired of their club. The clueless owners and directors bought all the wrong players. I think Chelsea is finished.

[Rampagoe004]

Still the Community Shield could be important for them in this match, I'm sure they will field their main squad to win this match we don't know how much possession but sure it will be Manchester City.

That is not in favor of Manchester United, some of the main players must be absent due to injury, I don't dare to bet on Manchester United's victory if the situation is like now like a lack of players later.

Maybe Erik Ten Hag will try to make a better strategy in order to win the match with his rivals.

I remember Ten Hag said when they won the FA Cup that he was confident of beating City if his key players were not injured. But unfortunately many of Manchester United's players are injured ahead of the Community Shield. I favor City to win the Community Shield. Ten Hag probably still has a good tactic to beat City because he did it in the FA Cup final. But without the players he needs it will be difficult for Ten Hag to play his tactics. I just hope United's players can recover from their injuries when the season starts. I expect United to have a good start to the season with their current squad.

After reading some of the opinions you guys have discussed, I conclude that although this match is not too important, it is difficult to predict.
If we think Manchester City will win, but Man Utd in the FA Cup was able to beat Pep Guardiola's troops, while an unimportant match like this, Manchester City usually won't take it seriously and just play simply without pursuing victory.
However, if we think so, it is impossible for Manchester City to give up in this Community Shield match because Pep Guardiola's reputation will certainly still be prioritized before the match starts.



From my betting choices, there are 2 choices, such as if you want to get certainty, maybe choose City to score more than 1.5 with odds @1.58.
However, if you want to get big profits from our prediction speculation, choosing Man Utd to score more than 1.5 with odds @2.95 is very profitable.

Mr @X-ray I never said the Blues have improved and never will I say such until I see some improvement which I haven't seen in a very long while, they look like a team that can withstand the pressure of Madrid from the start but after few minutes they went back to default settings. Careless with the ball never know when to release the ball and the manager isn't seeing those crazy errors. No matter how long the players of Madrid stay due to resting or holiday as the case maybe, the Madrid B team will always beat Chelsea and is a shame that for almost 3-4 friendlies they (Chelsea) haven't changed a bit and they're even get extremely bad in performance.
The manager Enzo Maresca hasn't done anything since his arrival at Stanford Bridge because all the players have been doing is run without direct, no coordination like team play, at least try to recreate something, is like nobody is learning from their mistakes. Chelsea defense has never been in good shape right from last season so this is a medium for other clubs to make use of the chance to get 3 point out from them, it will be another season of point giveaway.
Chelsea isn't finished yet, I'd blame the manager for trying something he knows won't work, he doesn't have what it takes to deliver and it seems like the manage is trying to bring this trial and error style which I don't fancy in any way, it will only bring more confusion to the squad and come to think of it, doesn't Maresca knows his first 11?🤔

After previously getting negative results from two friendly matches, in today's match Madrid were able to return to winning ways and end their pre-season tour with positif result, while Chelsea will likely still receive criticism from fans after achieving another negative result in this match, to be honest even though the match was a friendly match, I doubt whether Chelsea next season will be able to compete with other teams in the EPL, although they have currently made major changes to their squad, but in this match the majority of Chelsea players played very badly and I don't even know what hhat Maresca did looked like it was really which difficult to instruct her players to play well in that match, the substitutions she made did not improve Chelsea game and tended to make their game worse.

The two goals scored by Madrid in that match were actually not due to the greatness of the Madrid players, but rather the poor and weak defense that Chelsea currently has, even from what we saw today, don't we all really miss Rudiger, Thiago Silva and also Koulibally is currently in Chelsea defense, not the clowns that Chelsea bought expensively, such as Fofana, Colwill and Badiashile.
I think Madrid second goal could have been prevented if only Badiashile had moved quicker to block the ball into the goal and not just watched without making the slightest effort to prevent it.

Still the Community Shield could be important for them in this match, I'm sure they will field their main squad to win this match we don't know how much possession but sure it will be Manchester City.

That is not in favor of Manchester United, some of the main players must be absent due to injury, I don't dare to bet on Manchester United's victory if the situation is like now like a lack of players later.

Ten Hag probably still has a good tactic to beat City because he did it in the FA Cup final. But without the players he needs it will be difficult for Ten Hag to play his tactics. I just hope United's players can recover from their injuries when the season starts. I expect United to have a good start to the season with their current squad.

Manchester United has a great chance to win the Community Shield, because why as happened in the FA Cup of course they have a chance, if compared to these two teams City is indeed superior in terms of players but talking about Man United they work very hard when City has several opportunities that are not optimal then Man United has one maximum opportunity, Man United itself is indeed experiencing a shortage of players due to injury but I am sure that Ten Hag will stabilize it all with a special victory for its fans.

In the final later I support Man United because Mqn United is more ambitious than City, of course it is not easy to give up on City but what they did in the FA Cup final is a big reference how they play with full confidence and also work until the last minute, and City can't do whatever they want because they have difficulty pressing Man United because they are also very strong in defense, of course I think Man United will have a proud season next season the factor is because they currently have some good players especially with their young players I think next season Ten Hag will bring Man United to where they should be.

[Smack That Ace]

Last season, before the FA Cup Competition Finals against Manchester City, I can vividly recall you saying same words like this. I have a clear picture of how you said Manchester City would trash Manchester United in that finals and that he'll be sacked immediately after the game.
Fast forward till today, how has things been? I don't know why you say such things, well they're your opinions and we don't see things the same way. I just want to tell you that Erik Ten Hag is the right man for Manchester United same way I have always advocated for his stay with the club prior to the FA Cup Finals.

One thing you should allow sink in your head is that, he is not a magician and will not be able to get Manchester United to glory days with these players, same players from Louis Van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunner Solskjaer. Until they're gone and players with standards, technique and quality comes in Manchester United will go nowhere.

I am not him, but I also said that City would trash United without a doubt, I wasn't even expecting a close game, I was expecting like some high levels of dominance from City, if the game ended with City getting a 5-0 victory, I wouldn't find that shocking. However, the whole world expected that, why did the whole world expected City to just destroy United? What was the reason?

Well I mean it's obvious, Erik Tan Hag made United play awful all season long, had the worst season in decades, I can't even remember a season when United was this bad, and that says something because they had some awful seasons. So just because he won FA cup, we should ignore the fact that he was last place in UCL groups, and he sucked insanely at league?

I do not think that would make sense, I know that he at least won something, it's better than not winning something, but at the end of the day this isn't good enough, it just doesn't make sense to me at all, feels like it is not enough. I think he should be at least doing fine for the league part, if he stays in the top four, even if he is fourth every year, that would be fine. But if he has another season like this, I think he should be fired right away.

Actually, nobody expected Manchester United to even have a competition against Manchester City. We all thought that Manchester City was going to win the match easily against Manchester United. Why Manchester City was unable to win is very easy to understand. The defense of Manchester City did not work very well at that particular day. If someone, before the match thought that Manchester United was going to win against Manchester City, he was absolutely a Manchester United fan. Otherwise, almost nobody thought that Manchester City would lose. And even though Manchester United was able to win the FA Cup, probably the coach Ten Hag should still have been fired. He did not do a good job. Obviously, it is good for the authority that they are giving him another chance. But will he be able to make amends?

For Guardiola, this will be a great chance to prove that the last defeat to Manchester United in the cup final was a fluke. I would not pay attention to the teams' recent friendlies, especially their defensive play, because in official matches everything will be different. City are again favorites, but this time Guardiola must take his opponent very seriously to avoid another such disastrous first half. Ten Hag's pre-season preparation has not been very successful, he has lost several players due to injuries, losses in attack and defense, which also gives City an advantage.

It's hypocritical to say Chelsea is improving with the performance we have seen so far in this preseason matches. They conceded twelve goals in just five games and only scored nine goals. A lot of work has to be done in the defense.

Yesterday, I only watch the second half of that match but frankly speaking, Chelsea is not in any way different from what they've been before. Whoever plot Pottechino out has done a very bad thing to Chelsea. Seeing how €100m players were dominated by kids is very heartbreaking. I wonder how they are going to defend this team when premier league finally starts.

[SmartCharpa]

I think Guardiola used his young players in pre-season games because he did not want his top players to be injured before the Premier League season began. likewise, Ten Hag doesn't want to make use of his top players because few of the players they need to perform at a high level next season were injured in pre-season games, and it would be dangerous if any of their players sustained more injuries. However, based on the pre-season games played by both clubs so far, Manchester City surpassed Manchester United. Guardiola's young players performed much better than Manchester United's young players. So I believe it will be interesting to bet on Manchester City as the favorite to win.

Chelsea is a kind of team that is controlled by the fans and sometimes the owner of the team needs to be honest with his plan and stop what the fans say, Chelsea was defeated by Manchester City and many people are shouting and complaining about the new manager, what do people want him to do? He needs time to build his team so let's give him time and see what he’s capable of doing, the only complaint I have against Chelsea is they are selling some of their players and they need to think before selling them.

Enzo Maresca needs to learn from the pre-season game they played, plus the challenges he will face next season with the players the team provided to him. Chelsea is not a team that is patient with its managers, they are always interested in achieving good outcomes each season. I won't think about Maresca as a bad manager only because they failed the pre-season games, I believe Chelsea will recover and win their games.

That's right, Chelsea management has made many mistakes so that their team is as bad as it is now and Enzo Maresca's task is very difficult, it is not easy for him to build a team from the beginning again like Chelsea now which does not have a strong team framework.

Several Chelsea pre-season matches have actually proven that they are now getting worse.
And I think there is nothing more to expect from Chelsea, they will not be better next season than last season and one way to make Chelsea rise is to provide support and also time for Enzo Maresca to build this team through the process, but if not then Chelsea will change coaches every year.

Well, they had an opportunity to make this upcoming season much better but they decided to let it slide by kicking Mauricio Pochettino out, that man took them to the Europa League spot after several errors by previous coaches and if not that Manchester United defeated City to win the FA Cup, Chelsea would've played in Europa League instead of Conference League, but then how did the board pay him back, by cutting ties with him when his bond with players on an off the team became strong. Enzo Maresca might encounter lots of difficulties and things might be worst than other coaches, not leaving behind the fact that he could have a serious confusion in selecting his best XI due to bulky squad depth. As for changing Maresca, it won't come like a surprise given that Todd Boehly lack patience and won't hesitate to look for another option if Maresca doesn't miss his expectations.

Chelsea are currently in poor condition, their performance in pre-season is very disappointing, there is no significant development shown under the current coach, poor defense is one of Chelsea's weaknesses, last season and this season only show disappointment for the fans, there needs to be a real overhaul that can rebuild Chelsea's glory, yes and it seems there is no hope for Chelsea in the competitive league which is now getting closer

as reported by goal Enzo Maresca is currently breaking the deadlock and problems faced by Chelsea at this time and even Enzo alluded to Mauricio Pochettino after what The Blues showed through poor performance in pre-season.

I don't understand why Enzo alluded to the previous coach, for the failure he showed in this pre-season.?

I also think that Pochettino's dismissal was a mistake, especially since it was inappropriate on Boehly's part, because he had previously said that their cooperation with Pochettino would be long-term and that he should concentrate on working in the team. And if he had stayed in the team, I would have expected better results from Chelsea than now, when Maresca has joined the team, and there are many changes in the team again. Perhaps it's not even that Boehly has too little patience, but that he makes wrong decisions regarding coaches. By the way, I think the time when Pochettino was a coach was the most adequate period regarding transfers.

Chelsea’s situation don’t seem to improve after all the spendings and hoping to see a better season for them. They’ve really got a lot  of work to do here and it’s better they try and improve their performance and make things better for themselves. This is a team that is suppose to be dominating the premier league along other top clubs in the league but they keep failing yearly and don’t get to see any improvement in their style of play. The sack of Pochettino was not really worth it, but sometimes clubs make mistakes they they’ll always regret later which is not something to be taken for granted. He did well towards end of the season, he’s suppose to be given another chance to prove himself better.

Enzo Maresca needs to learn from the pre-season game they played, plus the challenges he will face next season with the players the team provided to him. Chelsea is not a team that is patient with its managers, they are always interested in achieving good outcomes each season. I won't think about Maresca as a bad manager only because they failed the pre-season games, I believe Chelsea will recover and win their games.

If Enzo Maresca will learn from all of this his mistakes and try to improve the condition of the team when the league begins, it’ll really help and make Chelsea better when the season begins. They are a team that don’t mind bringing in new manager every year, so Enzo Maresca have to be careful and bring out the best in this players or else he’ll risk losing his job just after one year in the club. The preseason games are meant to know the strength of the players and allow them to become better with time with strategies they plan to use for the team in the future.
