Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[shinratensei_]

My concern with Maresca lies with the defense, particularly the full-backs, who seem to struggle with maintaining the right positions consistently. The second goal, for instance, resulted largely from Malo Gusto being out of position. I’m really hoping the coach’s plan starts to click soon, as the players are still missing it too often. Mudrik isn’t showing any improvement, and Caicedo also struggled in the match.

Chelsea's defense is still the main problem in the squad. Fixing the defense will take a year. We have no good, consistent defenders. Also, inverting our defenders is weakening our defense. It may be good if we don't try to invert our defenders. Our midfield should play without needing the help of inverting our defender.

Our defense is so weak even since the pre-season games, and nothing has improved so far. Maresca needs to complete this puzzle on his own. I saw how Wolves players were so easy in going to the penalty box. Also, we are always conceding lots of goals. This is probably the impact of us inverting our defender to help our midfield.

Maresca must try not to invert our defender, and i think we can defend better.

The Chelsea team today were exceptional today and they can build on this momentum as the season progresses to make them finish high up in the standings. But the thing is Wolves throughout last season have been shit and aren’t even the same wolves they use to be, last season, I think only took points from Chelsea out of the 6 remaining traditional top club in the league, so it is not that such a massive or wild win. But is certainly a good point for Chelsea to get their season started.

Many other clubs have also been great since start and not just Liverpool alone but it doesn’t guarantee to call any of this clubs as title contenders just already. We have almost 1 quarter of the entire clubs having a perfect starting record so fa and they are certainly not going to be contenders but are just enjoying the first mover b benefits of having smaller clubs as opponents. I believe anything October, November or rather after a quarter of matches having been played the pretenders and the contenders will be differentiated

Chelsea played really well today and this can help them do well for rest of season. But like you said we need to remember that they played against Wolves team that has been doing badly since last season. So it is not huge surprise that Chelsea won.
Chelsea win is good start but it does not mean they will definitely be one of top teams. Other teams have also started well but we will see if they can keep it up. Well I think after few months we will see which teams are really good and which ones are not. Then we will know who can actually challenge for title.

In addition, both Man City, Liverpool, and Arsenal are still continuing their best results with wins. The competition is getting tight, they must get more goals if they win continuously.

Everybody jubilating for Chelsea, but how consistent can they go? Good job today in between. But how many goals can Noni Madueke contribute? Or will he fold after his first hat trick for the club. Todd Boehly must be happy but we will see how well his defense can cope. Attackers seems to be nuclear weapons.

Liverpool has just won their first two game under a new manager for the first time in a long time.  Next up will be against Manchester United. We will definitely see what happens against the two rivals. I can boast about City and Gunners, they can go five to six game unbeaten this way. Shout-out to David Raya, brilliant goalkeeping from his yesterday.




Before Manchester United fans begin lamenting and crying like emotional babies, I would want them to know that Manchester United has improved, they're not just looking close enough but allowing emotions judge Erik Ten Hag. He is no magician, the players are to execute not him. I think the call out for him to be sacked is not just a dump call but also a stupid one. With the right selections up next, I'm certain a point will be squeezed outta Liverpool or win. Give him time. Image displays expected goals from clubs, it's just that Manchester United started without a number 9

[Stablexcoin]

You can almost wish for Chelsea to keep up with this performance and back it up with some consistency but, Chelsea have shown some of this kind of performance in the past and couldn't hold it up.
The connection between Palmer and Maduake today was thing to watch ou5 fir in theerefirst game.
Palmer produced a goals and an assist while, Maduake have got hattrick to his name. The duel is the best to have happened Chelsea and its something opposition would be looking to be

Chelsea made good use of their opportunity with a team that had weak defense even at the same time Chelsea's defense was penetrable by the Wolves player which is why they were able to score goals. If Chelsea meets a team with a strong defense I don't think they can have the chances they had today. I expected Chelsea to win today's game but when I see a game that they can't win I will surely say it and bet against Chelsea to lose. Palmer is a good player but when it comes to big clubs he tends to hide. His strength can only be seen when they are playing underdogs.

[armanda90]

Chelsea's defense is actually still quite good but sometimes the situation becomes erratic where in one match they (the defenders) play very well and in another match they are sometimes very bad which makes this difficult to predict because of the inconsistencies they make.
There are still some gaps that Maresca must resolve in this regard because if you look at the actual match it can be seen that the players still seem to rely on each other which makes their cooperation unstable because of the lack of chemistry.

But in the second match this time they played amazingly where they scored 6 goals with a big win which I even forgot when the last time Chelsea won with a score of this size because it was very rare in the last 2 seasons.
At least with this there is a new hope for Chelsea so that their performance continues to improve.

Last season, Chelsea performance still inconsistent when playing well one match and few matches later downtrend to back perform, but too early comparison with their performance in this season after defeating on first match against Manchester City and success return to top performance after fantastic winning over 2-6 against Wolves.
Currently Chelsea's defend performance not quit well after easily conceded four goals in last two matches but Enzo Maresca success make the new record as Chelsea manager winning over six goals in one match.

Looking forward how consistent Chelsea performance upcoming match in Premier League against Crystal Palace, for several matches later Chelsea only face mediocre teams and must secure all three points if want make easily reach the top fourth standings before facing top team. Loss from Manchester City on the first match make us doubt will Chelsea can easily for defeating another top team such as Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur?

For the consistency issue we need to test how strong Chelsea are at defending to get wins in the next few games.
A promising win with Noni Madueke scoring a hat-trick in the match as a step forward.

The most highlighted defeat was Man United and this is a weak point that may be difficult to fix and their defence does look very poor.
Manchester City and Arsenal may still be considered the strongest contenders this season but it is quite interesting to watch the Manchester United vs Liverpool match.
I think Manchester United will be tested again against Liverpool and even though the match will take place at Old Trafford their defense is quite worrying.

In my opinion, Chelsea is team that is difficult to maintain their best performance consistently, they can't really perform consistently and always show significant improvements and declines from time to time.
I don't really believe Chelsea can maintain this performance until the end of the Premier League competition, but if they succeed then I will be very happy and surprised with what they get for this season because it can be much better than the previous season.
From this match, Madueke really got the attention of many people considering that for the first time playing he immediately gave hat-trick for Chelsea and brought big win.

On the other hand, the last match showed that Liverpool also managed to win over Brentford and of course this is still as we expected.
Salah also still played very well and gave one goal for Liverpool even though some time ago he had been talked about lot with decline in performance.

[samuraijin]

If I was a Chelsea fan I wouldn't get pumped up too quickly. Brilliant win but not every game will be like this. We'll have to see how they do against the big teams, and from what we've seen in the first week, they're not in the mood to challenge for the title yet. They need to get through the easy games without any point loss and see how they do against Liverpool. Manchester City and Arsenal look solid in first two games. I didn't watch Liverpool games but they are going good as well. This time we might see a 3-4 teams championship race, at least until the last quarter part of the league.

The Chelsea team today were exceptional today and they can build on this momentum as the season progresses to make them finish high up in the standings. But the thing is Wolves throughout last season have been shit and aren’t even the same wolves they use to be, last season, I think only took points from Chelsea out of the 6 remaining traditional top club in the league, so it is not that such a massive or wild win.

I believe anything October, November or rather after a quarter of matches having been played the pretenders and the contenders will be differentiated

This surprised me I thought it would end in a draw and I put my bet on a draw, but in fact Chelsea went crazy in the match against Wolves with a score of 2-6 it turned out I was wrong with my trust in Chelsea, Wolves are actually capable but quite weak in their defense which made Chelsea easily score a big goal in the match, Chelsea deserved to win because they have players who are much more superior than Wolves, only a few players are owned by Wolves the rest are non-seeded players, I hope Chelsea can maintain their victory to continue to be consistent in achieving victory in the next match, because that will improve their standings in the last few seasons which performed badly, it's time for them to rise to prove and compete with other top clubs to win the title this season.

Here's hoping Liverpool win at Anfield...

Liverpool will play Brentford at home. I don't see anything positive for the visitors in this match, and I think Liverpool should comfortably take all three points. Liverpool won their first match against Ipswich 2-0, although the game was tougher than expected. Brentford also started the season with a win, beating Crystal Palace 2-1. It will be tough for Brentford against a much stronger Liverpool. Even if Klopp experiments with the lineup, I expect plenty of goals.  
My prediction: a Liverpool win.

The match has finished Liverpool achieved a positive result at home against Brendfort, Luis Diaz opened the first goal tap for Liverpool in the 13th minute in the second half Moh Salah ensured Liverpool's victory with his goal in the 70th minute, in the two matches that Liverpool have played they have not conceded a goal at all, this indicates that the defense line that was built is so solid, a clean sheet in two matches is a good capital to start this season. Week 3 of the EPL Liverpool will meet Man United at Old Trafford, I look forward to this match

Impressive performance from Liverpool. I'm impressed by how they dealt with their opponents' counters. They quickly got a lot of men behind the ball. They look assured against any counterattack. They seem ready to counter their opponents.

Arne slot is really improving the way we playing football. Also, I like Slot's decision to sub off our front 3 early. It's a prep for facing Manchester United soon. Slot's decision making is also very good.

You know, it's how they kept adding pressure on Brentford that made Frank's boys relent and easily loose focus if not on a normal day, Brentford are a good club. They also excel at punishing teams with wicked counters especially when Wissa and Mbuemo are paired together.
 I guess Liverpool didn't give Brentford enough time to celebrate their win against Crystal palace because you can measure if a team is strong when they meet an equally stronger side and defeat them but it showed clearly yesterday that Brentford are just an average team who managed to beat an equally average team but couldn't go further when they got hit with a challenge like Liverpool.
 I look forward to seeing their performance against Man UTD, whether Erik ten Hag's boys will be subdued by Arne Slot's Liverpool or the Red devils will put up a better fight than Brentford.

Very positive results in their first two matches with new coach Slot by playing with a fairly ideal style they managed to occupy the 4th position at this time, of course this will be a good foundation for them to convince themselves for the next victory when visiting Old Trafford headquarters, how could it not be Man United who are on the verge of shock under the guidance of Ten Hag with one win and one loss in the first two matches of course they are not in good condition, how on the other hand Liverpool who have only been with Slot for a few days or months they have found a good scheme in thorough preparation without any new players this season is truly extraordinary compared to Slot with Ten Hag. With not being defeated and not conceding this is a good thing for Liverpool in reaffirming that their defense is in a very fantastic condition especially at this time in the EPL where not a single goal has been scored, of course it will be difficult for Man United players to penetrate Liverpool's defense, they Man United who have conceded two goals of course their defense line is not ready of course this is a good opportunity for Liverpool to take advantage of this match to add their points at the top of the standings because Man United is not a mature team at this time.

It is unclear whether Brentford is not in their best form or Liverpool is simply too strong for them but what is certain is that Liverpool played impressively and they deserved the win. It is quite difficult to compare the strengths between teams because the season has only just started and I think there are still some teams that haven't yet set up. However, the match against Man United seems to be able to be used as a comparison, whether Liverpool with their new coach and strategy is truly effective or whether Man United is the one who stands out with all the changes they have made.

So far Liverpool have not met a strong opponent so it is true that we cannot conclude anything about Liverpool's strength with their new coach but as far as I see right now there is not much difference from Liverpool's team performance moreover the players in their current squad are still the same as last season. And for the victory against Brentford in the second week it is quite worthy for Liverpool to get, that's because Brentford is not better in quality than Liverpool.

[SmartCharpa]

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.

To me, that wasn't a lucky victory for Brighton because their performance deserved three points at home; they dominated more than Manchester United. I can only say that Manchester United was lucky that they didn't concede more than two goals because I believe if Simon Adingra had started that match, it wouldn't have been as easy as we think for Manchester United. After all, he assisted Brighton's final goal.

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.

However, there is a slight problem with Newcastle's defense line which makes them weak where Fabian Schar got a red card in the previous match and of course Eddie Howe will be quite confused to play his substitute players. But I am sure as long as Newcastle does not produce carelessness and can be productive in this match, Bournemouth is not a serious threat.

Bournemouth's match against Newcastle ended in a 1-1 draw, both teams played well, but I believe Bournemouth performed better than some of us expected, many people expected Newcastle to defeat Bournemouth because they did not appear to be a strong team, just Newcastle scored in their last game to secure the three points despite Fabian Schär being sent off in the 28th minute. Even before the match against Bournemouth started, I did not expect Newcastle to win because of Bournemouth's performance last season, they are not a weak team, they defeated many clubs last season, including Manchester United. However, Newcastle's defense didn't seem very good against Bournemouth, otherwise, they wouldn't have conceded a goal in the first half, but Gordon's came with an equalizer to draw the match and share the points.

To think that Liverpool is playing the kind of exciting football they're currently displaying under a new manager that's yet to sign any new player to the team is another reason why I think the rest of the English Premier League teams should be worried about Liverpool and the threat they possess.
I watched the Liverpool game yesterday as well as their 2:0 win at Ipswich Town on their first English Premier League game of the season and if you ask me of my conclusion of the team's performance, I'll say be a major force in the league this season.

Week 3 of the EPL Liverpool will meet Man United at Old Trafford, I look forward to this match

Liverpool who didn't bring in a new player this season, were actually very superior and dominant over Brentford in yesterday match, the 2-0 win and two consecutive wins indicate that they are currently experiencing a lot of improvement in their game, although it's too early  to say, but I think this season they deserve to be considered as favorites to win along with Manchester City and Arsenal, without adding players it actually makes their squad more compact and in last 2 match I actually saw that the tactics applied by Slot were very capable in destroying each of their opponents, even from several media that I read, Liverpool has recorded very high pass accuracy in the match against Brentford and that is the best in the last 20 years.
If Arne Slot is able to maintain his good performance in each of their matches, of course we cannot deny that Liverpool will easily won the championship trophy this season.

Their former coach Klopp was built Liverpool to the point that any coach can coach them and they will still be win many matches than the ones they will lose because they are used to Klopp game pattern and it has sink into them.

When we will see the quality of their new coach is when they will meet a strong club and the challenge and pressure on the pitch is very tensed for them, that is when his experience and game strategy will prevail. Liverpool is doing well and started the season with consistency as normal and I believe that they will go far.

[klidex]

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 can not be grouped as a weak team that wins against Manchester United. Brighton has won against the big and small teams in the past; they won't stop doing that. For Brighton to win against Manchester United doesn't make them better than Manchester United or will end up better than Manchester United at the end of the season. Shit like this does happen in a match, for the anticipated club to lose against their lower opponent. However, it was another lucky day for Brighton to have another fantastic win in their second match of the Premier League season. They won't keep on having good wins like this, same as Manchester United having a loss match all the time.

Sometimes there are always surprises in football matches, big clubs do not always win in a full season sometimes they are also defeated by middle-ranked clubs or lower-ranked clubs, I am not surprised if Manchester United loses in this match because Brighton is also not a club that can be underestimated they have the advantage of playing at their home base watched by many fans so that it increases their confidence in the match.

By the way I placed some bets on last night's games and as predicted Chelsea won their game with a stunning score against Wolves it was a great first away game for Chelsea, meanwhile Newcastle got a draw against Bournemouth while for Liverpool it was an easy win for them against weak club Brentford.

Being one of the reasons why Arne Slot still maintains the squad that has long been formed by Klopp and this is proof that Arne Slot wants to help Liverpool reclaim its glory days and buy all the concerns of people who have doubted the new coach. With 4 scores from 2 matches and without conceding a goal is a very good start.
However, concerns in my mind began to arise whether Liverpool performance would last until the end of the season? I mean, I'm worried that Liverpool started the season very well but in the second half of the season lost consistency and returned to last season.

In the upcoming match, it might be a sign whether Liverpool is really strong when playing against an equal team like Man United.

[bestcoins1]

The Chelsea team scored 6 goals in this match, and they did the best performance even though the opponents were weak but they also managed to score two goals.  The Chelsea players were very aggressive but the opposing team's defenders and goalkeepers tried hard but could not prevent the goals. Because Chelsea have had the most success on the counter attack and created the biggest gap in this match. For the team, the ball was always under their control, so they were able to score more goals in this match.

Chelsea's level of ball possession was much better than the home team although I don't think Wolves is a weak team because the team is sometimes quite troublesome to be defeated by a team like Chelsea. But in this season's match Chelsea has shown a slightly extraordinary game by being able to score 6 goals and three of them by Madueke. I was also surprised by the quick goal by Chelsea players in the second minute although before half time Wolves also managed to equalize, but that was still not enough because Chelsea played better in the second half and were able to get 6 goals until the match ended.
