Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Hirose UK]

Second week of the Premier League matches will be finished today and we can see how the top teams are playing very well and still in line with everyone expectations, some fierce matches have not been seen in the early season schedule.
Manchester City managed to win with quite satisfactory results even though there was pressure from Ipswich attacking efforts, but we all know that Ipswich is not team that is worthy of being able to match Manchester City strength.
Arsenal and Liverpool, who were strong teams last season, were also teams that were able to make it difficult for Manchester City to win the title, now they can show their strength again.
I make Arsenal and Liverpool the favorites to win the match in the last few matches of the second week, Arsenal won 2-0 over Aston Villa and it remains to be seen how Liverpool will be.

What is the best explanation for this United loss yesterday with a poor performance no striker and removing your chances of getting a goal, Bruno Fernandes was the only player who can give United a chance to score and Erik ten Heg wasn't seeing it because he wanted to make a sub that would produce goals at the last minute, meanwhile he was reducing his chances of getting a goal. Good thing the Brighton coach was wise enough to bring in players that can hustle up the ball and make a last minute striker. The game wasn't interesting starting from the first half but when it became fun was towards the closing part of the game. This shows that Erik ten Heg doesn't have what it takes to pull Man UTD out of pressure, no tactics or whatsoever and he can't be the man for the Red Devils.

From last season too where Erik Ten Hag had no tactics at all to rely on into the match so that Manchester United always lost more often even with a fairly narrow score. Actually there are some pretty good players in the Manchester United team, but all of them cannot be maximized well by Erik Ten Hag and I hope that doesn't happen again this season. But in yesterday's match, the team still reflected the old way of playing, so there were several opportunities that the Manchester United players could not take advantage of.

After previously Manchester United performed impressively against Fulham, but now their main problem is recurring with the defense not being able to focus until the end of the match, Manchester United squad in the last few seasons is actually quite good and many of the players even have star status, but what's  we can see now that it is beyond all of our expectations when the quality and performance of star players cannot be maximized by ten hag at this time, i think ten hag does not want to ever learn from the experience of previous matches , even though they were able to win over fulham in the previous match but it seems It was clear in that match that they actually needed a pure striker, but instead Ten Hag continued to rely on midfielders and wing strikers who lacked finishing ability.

I think if from the start of the match Ten Hag had played a pure striker in the match against Brighton and played Garnacho as a supporter for the striker then maybe we would have seen a different end result now, but that's Ten Hag who has always been more concerned with his ego than changing his playing philosophy so far.

But in yesterday's match, the team still reflected the old way of playing, so there were several opportunities that the Manchester United players could not take advantage of.

Well, I must have laughed out loud at Ten Hag's supporters and defenders. Brighton beat MU for the fourth time in a row in the Premier League and the value of Brighton's starting line-up in the match was only a quarter of the transfer value of new striker Ramus Hojlund. If we don't consider the amount of money spent or the prestige of the names in the MU squad, Brighton has the "upper hand" when evaluating their strength. Despite not yet fully integrating with Brighton, 31-year-old new coach Fabian Hürzeler has a strategy to beat Ten Hag's students, whom he has coached for three seasons.

Ten Hag is currently criticizing and blaming the defense, but it is clear that his tactical system is the biggest problem. Ten Hag was given a lot of money by the MU board to recruit the stars he wanted, and what is the current result? What excuse can explain what problem MU is facing? If Ten Hag were hypothetically coaching a team with no money, I don't know how bad he would be.

Can Bournemouth stop Newcastle? Because Eddie Howe's squad is still quite dangerous and the previous victory against Southampton will be a capital of more confidence to be able to continue to consistently get points. The attack line will still be led by Antony Gordon and Aleksandar Isak, this will make it difficult for Bournemouth where one is very fast and agile, while the other is quite tall with a finishing that is still dangerous.

It's tough for Bournemouth but they still have a chance to get points in this match because Bournemouth will be playing at home and we also can't really judge the strength of both teams just from what happened in the first week, so I think anything is still possible for the Bournemouth vs Newcastle match, and I think it will be a fairly even match for both teams who have similar strengths.

From last season too where Erik Ten Hag had no tactics at all to rely on into the match so that Manchester United always lost more often even with a fairly narrow score. Actually there are some pretty good players in the Manchester United team, but all of them cannot be maximized well by Erik Ten Hag and I hope that doesn't happen again this season. But in yesterday's match, the team still reflected the old way of playing, so there were several opportunities that the Manchester United players could not take advantage of.

Erik Ten Hag seems to have failed to improve Manchester United's performance this season, we don't see much difference in Man United's game even though Brighton is a tough opponent, but apart from that I highlight Man United's team performance which doesn't have a good scheme to start attacks and score goals.
It seems we can't hope and have high expectations for Man United this season.

yes, he mentioned some players who were at fault for United's defeat to Brighton. but everyone is aware that the brain of United's game is Ten Hag as the coach. in fact, he was not able to make United beat Brighton. he was the one who chose some players in the squad to play. with the readiness and performance of the players. maybe the money spent by United to bring in some players is still not satisfactory for Ten Hag.

next United will face Liverpool, a team that I think will be stronger than Brighton. so, if they lose again is it possible that Ten Hag will blame some of his players again?

I think that kind of behavior is not good to be shown by a coach. he can analyze and correct his players, but still, the tactical mistakes he uses are the attention of many people.

[AprilioMP]

Manchester United did not develop if some old players were still in the Manchester United squad. Confusing indeed, why Bruno Fernandes was used as an attacker and reserved zirczee
Garnacho, Mainoo I like their vision of playing.

No change at all... I'm guessing Erik Ten Hag is doing the same as the previous strategy with Bruno Fernandes starting but Zirkzee on the bench, is it because he's new to the team and is being told to get a feel for the team? It's a bit strange to me.

Zirkzee is not alone that we can highlight on Erik Ten Hag's strategy, but there is still a matthijs de Ligt who is a mistress player played replacing Maguire.
Why buy expensive just to be a backup player if the game is good.

Let this be Erik Ten Hag's strategy we just look a little annoyed at the game in the second half... And there is still a lot that Erik Ten Hag needs to fix otherwise they could have a fate like last season.

The impression is that we only commentators not as predictors in seeing Manchester United's match. Actually all of that is their business, but because they have a lot of bets that are damaged especially those who bet multi.

[bering]

I don't understand why people are surprised to see Manchester United lose, when I already know Brighton has higher chance to win before the match started. I'd say Brighton has 70% chance to win while Manchester United is only 30%.

Ten Hag should able to draw a conclusion from the results of two matches, which are:
1. Bring back Bruno to it's main position.
2. Zirkzee to play as a starter.
3. Replace Rashford with Garnacho.
4. Sell Antony and Mount.

Actually i still didn't understand why Ten Hag still insist to make Bruno Fernandes as the striker because he is not good on that position and when the match against Fulham it showing Bruno looks didn't comfortable to playing as the striker and i thought in this match Ten Hag will find other solution with placed again Bruno on attacking midfielder because honestly Bruno is very good when placed on that position and i thought Ten Hag will be played Garnacho or Zirkzee for the striker yesterday

Besides that i have seen the player such as Maguire and Casemiro didn't playing well in this match which caused Brighton players can easily to broke the defense of Manchester United however next week Manchester United will fight against Liverpool at Old Trafford and i think Ten Hag should be immediatelly bringing this team to bounce back and just like we know Liverpool is hard opponent for them but if Manchester United are return to lost from this match then i am sure people will starting to critism Ten Hag hardly

[Barikui1]

Yes Brighton team scored two goals it's really mysterious, although Manchester United team players were more aggressive than Brighton team. But only because of good luck, Brighton team managed to go, Manchester United players from all sides created pressure. Although the game ended up being a draw, it was really lucky to get success in extra minutes. And three points taken away earlier this season, but I never imagined Manchester United would perform so unconsciously. It is usually a last minute goal due to the inattention of the defenders and the goalkeeper.

Manchester United faced with more conceded goals and two ones are lucky for them. Their performance is made up of attacking, midfield and defense but their defensive performance in the match is bad. Their attacking system looks to be good but it is not enough to cover weakness in defense. Brighton can exploit Manchester United's defense very easily and if they are more luckily, more than two goals can be scored by Brighton.

A late winning goal from Brighton makes this match emotional for both with regret from Manchester United side but Brighton deserve this win. They shown their strength against a big team again.

Yea, this have been the major problem of Manchester united, and at first, I initially thought that they have have fixed it, but they have not,  the problem I am talking about is their defense, they are too light at the back, and they concede too many chances, and sincerely speaking, any team that really want to compete in football in this 21 century must possess a good defense, but due to how porous Manchester united defense is, I don't see them winning anything tangible this season, unless their is a major improvement from them as the season goes by.
Lastly, I believe that the few new faces that arrived at Manchester united defense would have improved the team better than what I saw yesterday, but I was quite disappointed with their overall performance at the back, because they concede too many chances, and if Brighton was that clinical in front of goal, they would have scored more than two goals just as you rightfully said.

[Justbillywitt]

Damn, what are you doing? look at how loose the defense is in crucial minutes and I can't say anything more about Manchester United in this match. They are like putting on a circus and the home fans are very happy to see their actions.

There were 5 players who focused their attention to stop Simon Adingra and they forgot at least 3 players who were out of his sight. But who would have thought that instead of taking a direct shot he chose to cross towards Joan Pedro and was immediately greeted with his header.

Well, a dramatic victory was obtained by Brighton and they deserved it. I also won't blame Onana this time considering the Red Devils' defense was so sloppy.

Can't say anything else after seeing Man United slightly disappointing performance. At the beginning of the season I still had positive thoughts about Man United but in fact Man United defense still needs to be improved a little. It's not entirely the fault of the defenders but the performance of the Man United defenders was less focused so that it allowed 3 Brighton players to have empty spaces that were very easy to score.
In fact, Man United attack line had a pretty good performance to be able to get a draw but unfortunately this defeat disappointed the bettors and fans. Maguire is one of the defenders who should be reliable but I see him as lacking enthusiasm.

Manchester United spent money to recruit three defenders this summer already, are you still suggesting that they should go and buy more defenders? What do you expect from Manchester United, a club that recruited three defenders that don't player regular football in their previous clubs. I saw this their loss against Brighton coming and it happened as I predicted that Manchester United will lose. Anyone who has been following football very closely will understand that Manchester United were never going to win at Brighton yesterday, because Brighton were too good for Manchester United. This is just the beginning for them, the season is still very long. Manchester United should have relieved Ten Hag of his job instead they kept him. More disappointing results are still coming for United.

I have no idea what kind of team Manchester United is right now, but it seems like the defense forgot what they were doing at the back, they seemed to be focused only on Simon Adingra, forgetting that there are other players in the back, Manchester United's defense is still not as strong as it was last season, they were unable to defend throughout the match, and nobody in the squad played well, unless Amad Diallo, who scored goal yesterday, we cannot hold Onana responsible for their loss because despite the defense being there, they were unable to stop their opponents from scoring goals.

Ten Hag has always bothered me because I don't understand why he started the game with Mount and Rashford instead of Garnacho, Rashford hasn't been as good as he once was. To be honest, this isn't how a manager should develop a player who has lost form, If Ten Hag wants to get more out of Rashford, he can start him late in a game, that's when they win. In my opinion, if he starts Rashford on the bench every time, he will undoubtedly improve and benefit his team.

[Leviathan.007]

Manchester United got outplayed today. They just couldnt finish, while they had all the possession and all the shots. Brighton gave a really good game. They never gave up, were orderly and disciplined. They were due that last-minute winner.

Folks, this isn't an accident. Quietly developing a good team, Brighton is showing they can compete with the big lads. Regarding Manchester United, let me say they really need to return to the drawing board. This is about heart not only about strategy. They have to figure out how to dig deep and win those near calls.

Brighton has always been a problem for Man United in recent seasons. Whether playing at home or away, Manchester United has always struggled when its opponent is Brighton. Tonight is no exception, especially since Man United has not found a good rhythm and there are several players who still need to adapt. Man United was also not lucky enough because Garnacho's shot should have been a goal, it's just that the Goddess of Fortune is not on their side and it wasn't Zirkzee's fault either considering the heavy rain made the pitch more slippery.

Brighton won the game with a 2-1 result and this was not good for a team like Manchester United to lose like that but I think it was not because of Brighton had a good performance and this made of win the game. However, the performance of Brighton was not bad at all but Manchester United is still not in the good form, and time after time I think about the reason of why they didn't stop working with Ten Hag when they had the chance for it during the summer.
some players in Mancshter United were not performing well and this made Mancshter United's former players, Rio Ferdinand, and Joe Cole to talk, they said the performance of their Brazilian player Antony was not good at all they thought Antony could perform much better than this.

[Luzin]

This condition did not surprise me. Brighton is a good team, I think Man United is not at the best level of the game. Ten Hag's decision to replace Bruno Fernandes with Scott McTominay and Maguire in the 79th minute was not right. I think if Ten Hag wants to get 1 point, De Light comes in and Bruno goes out. So they will have 3 central defenders and I think it can strengthen Man United's defense. Even Rashfor should have been replaced, he didn't have a good role at that time.

2. Zirkzee to play as a starter.
3. Replace Rashford with Garnacho.
4. Sell Antony and Mount.

Ten Hang seems happy scoring one goal not realizing that one goal doesn't always win games and it's not even safe week in week out. Zirkzee deserved a start in United games after scoring in their last match. You can not play premier league matches without a natural striker on the pitch and Rashford is too lazy in the front to relied on.

Garnacho as well is one of the brightest player in their squad who deserves a start too but Ten Hang probably doesn't like him. Imagine substituting Mount and leave Rashford in the game who contributed absolutely nothing to the game. I don't think Manchester united is ready for the improvement we all were clamoring for from the attitude of the couch in the last two games played.

No one is surprised by United's defeat, but still, before the game, the chances were about equal and United were a slight favorite. It was something like 35% - 28% - 37%, a very small advantage for United and, in fact, a random game. As for personnel decisions, there are many options, but it seems to me that in the third year it is quite clear that the main problem is the coach. I hope the next game with Liverpool will be further confirmation of this.

A late winning goal from Brighton makes this match emotional for both with regret from Manchester United side but Brighton deserve this win. They shown their strength against a big team again.

The defense line was still quite problematic in the match so they had to accept defeat. Even Brighton's winning goal came from Man United's poor defense because they did not guard the player who was standing empty in the corner. As far as I have seen in the last five meetings between the two, Man United have only been able to win one match and this is a pretty bad result for Erik Ten Hak.

Brighton was able to match Man United's game and I think this is a weak point that needs to be fixed by Erik Ten Hak. If they lose against a team like this, it will be much more difficult when facing other strong teams in other matches.

Brighton wasn’t there match in this game, they were there better. Though odds might have put them in a head-to-head situation but somehow, it was expected for Manchester United to under perform with Brighton taking some good advantage of them.
Brighton started leading early in the game with Manchester United playing catch-up. Too bad for them they had a VAR disallowed goal as that could have been a major turning point for them but no, Joshua Zirkzee wasn’t going to be allowed to stand.
Just when it seemed all was done, in the minutes that mattered and could have earned them a point, they let Joao Pedro catch them off guard.

[Helena Yu]

I wouldn't say that right away, because bookmakers offered different odds than your 70%/30%.

Brighton & Hove Albion           Manchester United
             2.83                                    1.32

Judging by their predictions, the advantage was still given to Manchester United and it was not obvious that Brighton & Hove Albion would win.

Those who bet on Brighton & Hove Albion "played against the market" and made money.

Which bookmakers? I don't believe it.

Look at this one, Brighton is actually a slight favorite in moneyline odds, even though it's moneyline, I'm sure it's nothing different with draw no bet where Brighton should be slight favorite too.

For me, when the small teams become favorite against big teams, it means the small teams has a high chance to win.

[Solokan]

Personally, I also imagined that the match between Brighton and Manchester United would be won by Manchester United, but in reality, in this match, Brighton performed well, which of course resulted in them finally winning with a score of 2-1. Yes, Erik ten Hag's defense needs to be improved by Manchester United to make it even better and of course I'm sure Erik ten Hag will definitely be able to make his men perform better in the next match.

However, I personally saw that in that match, the attack from the Manchester United players was very good and in fact, if Garnacho scored a goal and was not offside then of course there would be the potential for a draw in the match and of course from my perspective the strength compare between Manchester United and Brighton is certainly not much different. and of course this season is still early and of course Manchester United still has a lot of time to perform better.

Of course, many of those who bet on Manchester United's victory will be disappointed, but yes, this is football, of course anything can happen, of course Maguire should be able to play well, but yes, at that time his performance was not good, so of course we'll see what happens in the next match with strength. the strength that Manchester United has.

[Strongkored]

I checked the odds of this match on one of the scores websites so it should not be much different from the bookmakers on the moneyline, in fact BHA is the favorite with 2.30 while Manchester United is 2.88 and it seems that the home factor is an advantage for BHA, that is quite different from the odds you mentioned and I have never found odds that differ much between bookmakers.

BHA's victory is not surprising because they are facing a team that looks the same as last season, as evidenced by the first match at home, United could only win narrowly even though they had many opportunities to score goals, so there has been no improvement in the first two games of the season.

[Cryptmuster]

Garnacho did everything right, it's just that after his shot no one was supposed to touch the ball. I don't think anything unexpected happened in this match. Brighton started the season well, it was clear that they were in great shape, and Manchester United looked too heavy in the match with Fulham. We can say that ten Hag has problems with injuries to his players, but this is more about the attack, but if we evaluate Manchester United, I will say that I do not see that something has changed in the team, and to get a defeat already in the second round is bad, because they are already 3 points behind City and Arsenal, and this is only the second round. I do not believe that ten Hag will be able to stay in the team after this season.
