Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Webetcoins]

Brighton really had a great start that I did not expected them to do, they look like a very good team if you ask me and could be one of the surprise of this season. I am not joking, if they play like this all season long then I think we can see them finish in the top four, which would be their highest finish I can remember, and it really looks like their hard work of finding good young talents seems like it's working.

If this was just one game because they played against a weaker team then things would change. Once again, City and Arsenal got a win because that's what they do and I think they are going to end up with the top two position again.

At this point, I have to say it's boring to see City win the league, I really hope that someone else wins for a change so that we can have a bit more fun and more celebrations. Otherwise, the league is becoming weaker by the day, when nobody else wins, nobody else makes money and makes other teams weaker by the season this way.

Despite the club owner willingness to splurge part of his wealth in the transfer market for Chelsea to recruit the new players according to the newly appointed manager wish list, Chelsea still lost their opening match against Manchester City in front of their home fans. I guess it will not take a long time for Chelsea to replace their club manager once again if the new manager are only able to lead Chelsea hovering around the middle of the table throughout the whole new season.

Many doubted Enzo Maresca's ability to take Chelsea to a better level, these doubts emerged after Chelsea lost 0-2 to Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea were unable to match the increasing strength of Manchester City, even though they were playing at their opponent's home ground, Manchester City managed to dominate the match and return home with their first 3 points this season. Enzo Maresca needs to do something better in the next match, even though he started the season with a bad result, he must end it with a satisfactory result.

Last night we could see Leicester's comeback to the EPL and as one of the promoted teams they certainly did not want to go back to the championship division. Unfortunately in that match they had to draw 1-1 against Spurs and indeed this was not an easy match for Leicester. However Spurs are one of the strongest and their consistency is also unquestionable.

Initially I thought Leicester could punish Spurs at home but instead Leicester had to concede first in the 29th minute through Pedro Porro. However after the break was over and precisely in the 57th minute, a striker who is already familiar to our ears, namely Jamie Vardy, managed to equalize and increase the intensity of the match. Statistically Leicester lost badly from ball possession but once they attacked they were quite dangerous for Spurs' defense.

In this match the tension increased where Spurs fans started to mock Leicester and there was a gesture from Jamie Vardy indicating that he had one EPL title and Spurs 0 titles to the fans. I did not expect the meeting between these two teams to be so heated and at least each team still collected one point in the early match.

The 3 EPL promotion clubs Leicester, Southampton, and Ipswich all did not get 3 points. Only Leicester City was able to get 1 point. Of course, Leicester is indeed a team that has better players, they are able to keep up with Tottenham. Meanwhile, Ipswich they had to lose because they were against Liverpool. Meanwhile, Sothampton lost to the rich club Newcastle. This result is certainly not a picture of 1 season but I hope these 3 promoted teams are able to compete to work hard to stay in the EPL.

In case the club's management decided to sack Maresca because he did not get the result they were expecting from him this season, I doubt we will see Chelsea finish among the top four in the next two seasons because changing its manager repeatedly won't lead to any good results and the squad will struggle to play at their highest level because they didn't get enough training from a single coach, and they want to win each of their games, Chelsea has a lot of players, I think Maresca will be confused at times, as he will not know who will start most matches.

However, losing their first match of the season was quite embarrassing as they lost at home, failing their fans even with a draw and sharing a point against Manchester City, the owners need to be patient with Maresca this season and adapt to the team, otherwise, they will continue to sack their coaches without producing good results.

It was expected that Leicester would get a point yesterday. They really proved the saying "easy does it". If you look at the stats, you'd see that from the get go, Tottenham were calling the shots and eit that early goal from Pedro Poro( P.P) at the KP (King power) stadium, you'd think that more goals would follow suit but all they could get for their troubles is corners and fouls but for Leicester, with any little chance they get, they try to cause damage.
 It's a new season for Postecoglu and with how he began last season with a bang, many fans felt they will do something better today. Honestly I'm not surprised by the result because Leicester are a very good team and Tottenham Hotspur aren't a club you can rely on to give you three points.

Indeed, Chelsea's recruitment in the transfer market was a failure, just a waste of money, but Maresca still has a lot of time and opportunity to fix everything, starting a new season against Man City is not an easy matter, especially since Guardiola's team has not changed the line-up too much, still relying on last season's strength, unlike Chelsea who is currently building strength. and in last night's match the strength shown by both teams was fairly balanced, so Chelsea can still aim for position 4 or 5 in the final standings, that is proof for Maresca not to be fired like the previous coach. another thing if we talk about trophies everyone will doubt it.

Unfortunately in that match they had to draw 1-1 against Spurs and indeed this was not an easy match for Leicester. However Spurs are one of the strongest and their consistency is also unquestionable.

In all fairness, it was indeed a brilliant start for Leicester. I was actually expecting them to get battered by Tottenham judging from their preseason performance but they proved me wrong. Although they sitted back through out the first half but played so much better in the second half.

I noticed how they were playing with confidence and that's what premier league is all about, they will stay in the league if they maintain this confidence in every game. They had the chance to win the game if they were more clinical but the missed numerous chances to put the game to bed. However, their defense needs to be more solid likewise the midfield because it was where Tottenham ruled the roost in the first half.

It’s just Game week 1. Let’s give it some time. Did you remember the season Portsmouth led the table for 8 weeks? They deserve the benefit of doubt although Newcastle & Liverpool who were the opponents of the other promoted teams aren't small fries. I also observed that the other clubs have splashed on transfers comparably to Leicester city.

It's still too early to call tbh; However, Ipswich knew exactly what they wanted by signing PL level players and it clearly showed in their first game against a top top side and I'm tipping them to stay up this season. They look like the best of the rest even though they lost their first game of the season.

I am not joking, if they play like this all season long then I think we can see them finish in the top four, which would be their highest finish I can remember, and it really looks like their hard work of finding good young talents seems like it's working.

Actually a bit surprised to see Everton lost with huge scores from Brighton and i can see it that Brighton progress under Fabian Hürzeler is really impressive because since pre season tour Brighton is still unbeated with gets 4 consecutive win and yesterday is their 5th winning under Fabian Hürzeler and previously i was doubt to Fabian Hürzeler because he was lack of experience to train premier league teams even before train Brighton Fabian Hürzeler status only the manager of Bundesliga 2 team St. Pauli

Besides Fabian Hürzeler factor i think why Brighton can find their shape again because Kaoru Mitoma have already recover from his injured and return to playing and you can see his performance last week he was very impressive but for almost every season Brighton always be playing inconsistency because usually they good at the beginning of league and poor when the league almost near to ended and it's quite interesting to know whether Fabian Hürzeler can able to managed Brighton consistency or not but next weekend Brighton will faced Manchester United and this is hard match for them

We have just few minutes to the end of the game, the score remains 1-1 because Jamie Vardy leveled the score for Leicester City in the 57th minutes of the match and they maintain their defensive quality to avoid more goals in the game because Tottenham is completely dominating the game and might win in the final minutes if they are lucky.

I was doubting Leicester City’s quality because they change coach and some of their players left them after they won the Championship under the management of Vincent Kompany, now I will not underrate them and they are out of my relegation team plan because with the number of players they have lost is much, and yet, they are playing very well.

The match played in King Power Stadium, but Leicester City was struggle to beat Tottenham while Tottenham itself isn't a strong team.

It was a huge lose when Leicester City relegated to Championship since their players choose to move to other teams like Maddison, Barnes, Castagne, Tielemans, Pérez etc. Now Leicester City need to re-build their teams back, which I think really hard since they're lack of funds.

Leicester City should be grateful that they got a draw against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday night. Tottenham Hotspur is far superior than the present Leicester team.  Leicester City are just coming back from relegation of which they lost quite a handful of their top players when they were relegated. My expectations for Leicester City this season is not that very much this season. If they can avoid relegation this season I think it will be enough for them. And I will say they have started in the right direction. Losing their coach who brought them out of relegation will have a little impact on them too. We all know the strength of Steve Cooper and how he led Nottingham Forest before his was sacked last year. So I won't say the draw against Tottenham Hotspur is a bad result for Leicester City, rather it was a bad result for Tottenham Hotspur.

Of the three teams promoted this season, Leicester City is the one we can hope for the most. Leicester, which achieved glory in the 2016 season, cannot always be underestimated. In the 2022 season, they have indeed been relegated. but it only takes one season for them to return to the premier league. As for the other two clubs, I don't think I expect much from them. But for Leicester, I don't think it's too much if we also hope quite well for them. Because holding Tottenham to a draw is a difficult thing. But they can do it. And next week Leicester will face Fullham and I don't think Leicester will lose any points in that match. At least they can even get 1 point back.

[Roseline492]

Even if we know that Chelsea performance sometimes is not encouraging but this there match against Manchester City I don't think is right for us to judge them because we had already know that Manchester City performance is more higher than Chelsea and besides even if Manchester City win the match but we annot also forget that Chelsea tried there best, so I think the only time we should judge or have a doubt about Chelsea performance is only when they are not able to win there next match against wolves that's when we can say that they have a weak team because already wolves is not that good on this season so they shouldn't be a too much problem for Chelsea.

We really shouldn't draw conclusions too quickly just based on the initial match. We have to be patient and wait for more matches to be played by them. And we must also remember that their new coach must adapt first. Because the season has just started and losing to Man City is quite natural. Maybe you are right, we might have to first see the results of the next match, namely next week when Chelsea face Wolves. Chelsea have indeed tried as best as they can and well we shouldn't have too high hopes for this squad which is full of young players. because young players sometimes need to adapt longer than experienced players.

Concluding based on the first match performance is never the right to do and like I said I will not blame Chelsea for losing the match because there new coach has not really identify the best way for them so perhaps after losing that match he would be able to understand the things that should be done in other to be getting the wining they deserve, however if i may ask what do you think about the Manchester City team this season, do you believe that they would be as good as they are last season?, because watching there match against Chelsea nothing has really change about them and instead they have even improve a lot and I believe they would be very consistent on this season because they would also like to retain the trophy again.

The Manchester city performance has never adapt down yet they started from where they stop last season, because if look at their performances in yesterday match against Chelsea there is nothing bad there they still in good form, that means if they maintain their consistency they might cook something this season.

But concerned the Chelsea performance is like the way they end the last season that’s how they come continuethis season again, because i didn’t not see any improvement with them and even thought their new coach has never identified the best way for them I think the players have to team up to make their performances to become better.

Of course Manchester City performance is still very strong, however I think Haaland will perform more better than last season because even if Manchester City won the trophy last season but Haaland was not consistent from the beginning to the end of the season, so after watching his performance on this match I noticed that this season will certainly be a good season for him and he was even one of the best player on that match and also maintain his scoring record, however I believe that Manchester City next match will not be a big deal for them because they would be meeting with Ipswich Town which shouldn't be that difficult for them, so perhaps Haaland should even use the match as an opportunity to score as many goals as he can.

[BABY SHOES]

Ah shit... Tottenham's draw made the parlay bet a mess while I chose the double chance odds of one of them winning instead of a draw.

I thought Tottenham would win easily but it was difficult to predict and indeed Leicester has a lot of experience in the Premier league, actually before deciding to choose the odds in this match hesitated, but in the end took the odds in this match.

When J.Vardie was pulled out there was an argument, J.Vardie showed his team had won the EPL while Spurs? But this is a fact isn't it?

In my opinion, Leicester looks stronger among all of the promoted clubs. And I'd rank Ipswich is probably the weakest one based on the result from the opening game of EPL.

Here's my ranking for the promotion club.

1. Leicester

2. Soton

3. Ipswich

Those promotion clubs faced tough opponents in their opening week. And Leicester looked better than Soton and Ipswich. Leicester was playing equally strong against Totenham, and they successfully steal 1 point.

And then, Soton lost to Newcastle FC. But, they played well in that game. They outplayed Newcastle after the ref gave a red card to the Newcastle. But a small mistake from their goalie cost 'em three point.

Lastly, I have no comment on Ipswich's performance. They showed nothing against LFC.

I also agree with your opinion that Leicester City does look stronger than other teams that have been promoted this season. But regarding Ipswich, they were unlucky because they had to face Liverpool directly at the start of the opening match of the season. So their chances were very small in that match and it was only natural that they would lose in that match. But still, Ipswich didn't play that bad. They made things difficult for Liverpool's defense several times. But compared to the others, Ipswich does look weaker. But it all looks like that because their opponents are Liverpool. Liverpool's strength level is almost the same as Man City and Arsenal. So we cannot fully assess Ipswich's performance yet.

However, their defense needs to be more solid likewise the midfield because it was where Tottenham ruled the roost in the first half.

In the end, Leicester City could only hold Tottenham to a draw. And that's not a surprising result. In fact, for me, Leicester played well because they didn't lose to Tottenham. As a newly promoted team, Leicester looks stronger than other promoted teams. And that is natural considering that Leicester is one of the clubs that has won the Premier League, even though it has been going on for quite a long time. but it's not impossible if they can do it again. And yeah they played with quite confidence. And I see that Leicester City can indeed become a club that has a fairly high level again.

In the closing match of the week, we watched Leicester City and Totthenham. Totthenham played good football in the match but failed to win away from home. Jamie Vardy scored early in the second half and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Of course I expected Tottenham to win this game because they are the favorites and it would be advantageous for them to start the league well.  The fact that Vardy is still performing like this at the age of 38 is a real bonus for Leicester.

Jamie Vardy is actually 37  not 38.
Though he actually took this game personal, especially when he reminded Spurs that they got an EPL title , I wonder what happened that pissed him off, anyway Vardy is back we expect him to be among the top Epl goalscorers this season

As I said in the previous post, although the Leicester City team has just been promoted, they are not worthy of being underestimated at this time especially since they have a very clear mission to repeat their past achievements, a draw is a fair result in this match but the score 1-1 was a bit disappointing for me because I hoped that in this match there would be more than 2.5 goals scored, I personally previously tried to analyze whether the current squad that Leicester will really be an obstacle for the big teams to get trophy, because their squad is currently filled by players who have been very loyal to Leicester City and it is clear that this creates good cohesiveness and chemistry between the players.

The match was quite tight and even though Tottenham were able to dominate the game, Leicester City were still able to develop their game in that match, so we didn't see a monotonous and one-sided match in that match because Leicester City was also able to trouble Tottenham defense, however, apart from this match, to be honest, I quite applaud Jamie Vardy loyalty to Leicester City at the moment, even when his other teammates are currently has playing for other teams, but he is actually very loyal to the Foxes to this day.
