Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

[Hirose UK]

~snip~

Yea, it's very true that Manchester city are the favourite in this game against Brentford, especially as they are on their home turf, and a win is very much likely, even and over 2.5 as predicted by you, because if you check their goal scoring record especially at home, it's very much logical to understand why you bet on the outcome of that game like that, but the option of betting on them to first score in the the game I think is actually not ideal, because this is football, anything can happen, Brentford might decide to break on the counter and score first in the match, and if that happens, you have definitely lost your bet, so betting on a team to score first even though they are more stronger is actually not a good option in my own point of view, because this is football and as such, anything can happen.

But if I were to be betting on that game, I will be going with the option of Manchester city to win and over 2.5 or I will go win the option of second half over 1.5, and I believe that those options will definitely be more productive than Manchester city score first which is too risky.

Manchester City managed to win with two goal scored by their mainstay striker Haaland, but unfortunately for the first goal in this match it turned out to be scored first by Brentford thanks to goal from Yoane Wissa and this made my bet fail because the 1st goal option could not be as expected.
You are right that in football anything can happen but keep in mind that this is Manchester City match against team that is not so strong so there is belief that the chances for Manchester City to score the first goal in this match are also very large.
Moreover, Manchester City defense is very strong and no one thought that Brentford would be able to get 1 goal advantage at the start of the first half, but I quite happy with the result even though I had to lose the bet.

For the second half the game was much fiercer and Brentford had fairly strong defense, all of Manchester City attacking efforts in the second half also did not produce results, if in this match you take that option for the second half then it will also be failure.

Two upsets happened yesterday, Brighton can't beat Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forrest win against Liverpool. Brighton is just unlucky enough, while Liverpool play really bad, all the strikers including Salah have a bad xG stats.

It's interesting that this week mostly goalkeepers become man of the match like Muric, Sels, Sanchez and Onana.

I think Arsenal vs Tottenham will end in draw.

[Gallar]

Today is going to be a very competitive game with Manchester United vs Southampton. It will be more than possible for Manchester United to win this game today, because Manchester United is occupying the middle of the points table. And the Southampton team is at the bottom of the points table, and according to the experience of the players, the Manchester United team is more likely to win this match.

 Betting on Manchester United is definitely more likely to win because Manchester United have a squad full of more experienced players in attack and defense than the opposing team.

This match was quite competitive, but it cannot be denied that Manchester United was superior in every way compared to the Southampton players. The reason is that in that match Manchester United managed to score 3 goals against Southampton and Southampton were unable to score a single goal in that match. Apart from that, even though Manchester United managed to win this match, this was not able to bring Manchester United further up the rankings. The reason is that after this victory Manchester United only ranked 10th in the Premier League with 6 points. So Manchester United needs more wins to continue to climb the rankings in the Premier League. Apart from that, this victory over Southampton cannot be used as a benchmark that Manchester United's performance has improved. Because it takes a fairly balanced opponent to judge how well Manchester United is currently performing.

But even so, Ten Hag and the Manchester United players should celebrate this victory. Because after all, Ten Hag and the Manchester United players achieved this victory with great difficulty. But Ten Hag and the Manchester United players also cannot be satisfied with just winning this match. Because there are still many other matches and also stronger opponents waiting for Manchester United.

Aston Villa has successfully to managed their winning streak because today they had just won from Everton with narrow scores 3-2 and playing as a host i can see Aston Villa was very aggressive because they were starting to pressed Everton since the beginning of match and after through an 3 latest matches without scores finally Watkins can make a brace today and this result makes Aston Villa has equal point to Liverpool 9 points

For Everton this is big alert for them because 4 losing streak makes their position currently at the bottom of League table and Everton even still unable to earn points this season and Everton also currently as the team with the poorest defense because until week 4 they had conceded 13 goals and the speculate about Sean Dyche is appears today because he potentially will being an the first manager to be sacked this season because Everton has poor perrormance under him

Giving up a goals advantage shows that Everton is lacking some important qualities. I thought they would have defended those two goals and at least got a draw. But some poor defending and lack of organization caused them to receive two cheap goals. The third goal was a masterclass, and Jhon Durán deserves to be awarded the best goalscorer of the week.

Just like Southampton, Everton have not won a game this season. Sean Dyche shouldn't take all the blame because we need to know how much the club management budgeted for the transfer window and how was it used. The club was the lowest spender in the Premiership this season with just: £28.17m. However, the English coach needs to put more effort because low- financially backed clubs like Wolves, Leicester and Brighton are putting up good performances.

It was shocking to see Liverpool beaten at Anfield by a small team like Nottingham Forest. I am sure this could not have happened in Klopp’s time but it is what it is. Klopp is gone and Arne Slot is here. It’s a hard knock to take for the manager and the team but the best decision now is to learn from their mistakes and make things right in their coming games. Many have blamed their poor performance on the international breaks. In my opinion I think there should be a reschedule of the time tables for this international games to be played before or after the league to avoid situations like this.

I am very sure that many gamblers lost this time. Really, the match result was very disappointing. Liverpool wasted too many chances, even this was like a very tight match, many yellow cards were given.

See, what's wrong with their performance?
what a miserable defeat


It starts from losing duels, few rotation, and also poor decision. the players and the coach got big criticism this time.
The problem is, Nottm Forest is not a strong team, they were expected to get full 3 points here, but failed miserably.

Challum-Hudson Odoi's only goal was the winner for Nottingham Forest at Liverpool's home ground, the final result of the match This was the Reds' first defeat in the Premier League this season since being coached by Arne Slot. This defeat is a setback in performance experienced by Liverpool after successfully achieving three wins in the last three games.

In fact, Liverpool played very well and managed to dominate the match, but Forest's very solid defense made it difficult for Liverpool players to score goals. This defeat means that Liverpool are now three points behind Manchester City, who have just managed to win four games in a row since the start of the season. Manchester City are increasingly comfortable at the top of the standings because they are still the only team that has managed to collect perfect points.

The first half is over, Man United finally managed to take the lead. If you look at Man United's game in the first half, they managed to score goals from dead ball schemes, and both goals involved De Ligt, so Manchester United could lead 2-0. In the second half I think they will play more relaxed because leading by two goals of course it will be easy for Man United to maintain their lead.

My conclusion in the first half Man United was not very good at trying to score goals with open play, this is a fact. but Southampton in the first half was also not clinical in taking advantage of their opportunities, and this is what distinguishes the two teams Man United is clinical, Southampton is not. But interestingly, Marcus Rashford finally scored again after 189 days without scoring. This is Rashford's first goal for Man United since last March.
It was quickly how the game changed in the first half from Southampton having the highest position in the first 25 minutes to Manchester United taking the lead with 2 goals to nothing before the end of the first half. The first 25 minutes were hell for Dalot since there was more defending in his wings. It was frustrating that he had to commit a penalty. Lucky for the Manchester United team Onana had to make his first Premier League penalty save after 7 penalties he had faced so far.

Just 2 minutes after the first half Manchester United scored their first goal in the game. And this game room for the second goal from Rashford. Funny enough this is his first goal in his last 12 matches for Manchester United. Hopefully, they will win the game because I see a different performance today in how they play.

The observation made here revolves around how Manchester United has continued leading Southampton by 2-0 during the first half of the match, thanks to goals scored from dead ball schemes. Manchester's strength appears to lie in their ability to capitalize on opportunities when they present themselves, even if their general gameplay is not as strong as it could be. Still, that clinical ability sets them apart from Southampton, who has missed several chances.

Marcus Rashford's goal is another notable event, seeing as it is his first in nearly half a year. Dalot, however, appears to be struggling, particularly when it comes to defending in his wings. Nonetheless, Onana managed his first Premier League penalty save, a crucial event that has diversified the match.

In the second half, we can anticipate a more relaxed play from Manchester United due to their lead. This game, however, suggests a different performance, presenting hope that Manchester United might win the match.

Chelsea were lucky today. Their defense was not very sharp and would have conceded goals if they faced a tougher opponent. Nkuku has proved to be a better goal scorer than Nicolas Jackson. What a finish! Why did Chelsea extend Jackson’s contract again?? Enough talk of Osimhen, Enzo Maresca should start Nkuku ahead of Jackson in the next game. Sancho is the best signing Chelsea has made this summer. Manchester United are probably regretting they sold Sancho to Chelsea.

Anyone comparing Jackson and Nkuku in terms of finishing probably don't know who Nkuku is. It's just so unfortunate that Nkuku is was hardly fit throughout last season. Nkuku is the better player and the best option when it comes to him and Jackson and Enzo Maresca is beginning to realize this. My only concern is that he should not pick up any injury that will rule him out for long this season, if he does remain fit he is definitely going to be scoring important goals for Chelsea this term. There has never been any question mark about how good Sancho is, Manchester United wouldn't have sold Sancho if they had another manager. The bad blood between him and Eric was the reason why Sancho was sold. It's a good thing that Sancho is now in a place where he can enjoy his football and we are going to see how much he will be of help to Chelsea this season.

Liverpool 0-1 Nottingham Forest: Match Review

The defeat to Nottingham Forest certainly surprised us, especially before Liverpool was favored to win an easy victory over Nottingham because they played at Anfield, besides that the quality of the two teams which different and also the positive achievements obtained by Liverpool with consecutive wins before certainly make people think that it is impossible for Liverpool to lose to Nottingham today, but that is the beauty from english league football today when they are able to destroy a big team Like Manchester United but in fact in another match a small team can destroy them, I think what happened to Liverpool in that match is none other than because indeed Nottingham played more organized and was also able to remain calm even under the pressure of Liverpool in that match, the negative result achieved by Liverpool today will obviously be a lesson for Arne Slot in next match and start think that not all small teams in the Premier League deserve to be underestimated.

Btw when you compare the slot era and Klopp and say if it's impossible Klopp will lose to a team like Nottingham Forest you are actually very wrong, because in the Klopp era even Liverpool once lost to a smaller team that was weaker than Nottingham Forest, even in the 2022 season when Liverpool was still coached by Klopp, they also lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest.

Southampton are not ready for the premier league imo. They had the game under control in the first 30minutes but they failed to take the lead and then Manchester United took advantage few minutes after as De ligt converted from a cross to give Manchester United the lead. United were able to get three goals at the back of the net to seal all three points. Good game for the red devils. Let’s see if they can build on from this result going forward to get more positive results.

In yesterday's match I thought there would be no surprises for the favorite team, but all of that happened in Liverpool defeat. On the one hand, the team that was initially doubted was able to get a victory like Chelsea who was able to beat Bournemouth with a narrow score.
I don't know how to say that disappointment but what is certain is that Liverpool attack line performed not as usual and looked really very bad.
And regarding my bet loss on Man City, it was actually my own mistake taking a big risk betting on Man City victory -1.75 because I was sure Guardiola team would not concede at home. But surprisingly in the early minutes Brentford was able to score 1 goal earlier.

It was very fortunate for me that the loss could be recovered from Chelsea and Aston Villa victories.

You have actually said my mind bro, Nicolas Jackson is actually no where near as good as Nkuku when it comes to taking chances and finishing, and to be frank, Chelsea would have taken the lead earlier if Nkuku was the one spare heading the attack of the Chelsea team, so I 100% believe that Nkuku is more of a better players than Nicolas Jackson.

Secondly, if we all take a look at Nicolas Jackson and how he has fare so far since he came to Chelsea football club, to be sincere, he is part of the major problem of Chelsea, he has practically taken Chelsea backwards because he can't deliver as expected as the number one attacker of the club, and if we look at Chelsea last season, he was the major reason why Chelsea didn't qualify for the uefa champions league this season, because he always fails to deliver all the bunch of chances that always comes begging, and that is what Chelsea legendary midfield Mikel obi pointed out that relying on Nicolas Jackson as the team central forwarder is the major downfall of Chelsea, and I also share the same sentiment, because if he had scored the last chance Chelsea had in their last game, a one on one situation, Chelsea would have had two more points in the league standings, but due to how incompetent he is  when it comes to finishing, Chelsea drew the game and lost to point, a game they would have won easily.

I would say that Southampton's defense is too weak for the Premier League, and Manchester United were obliged to beat such an opponent. I would like to mention De Ligt, he played his second match for Manchester United much better, he moved a lot and tried to show himself in every possible way. I can't say that this match will be a turning point for ten Hag, because the opponent was too weak. Everton did the same, scored two goals and then conceded three, a strange trend... But the biggest surprise was, of course, Liverpool, losing to Nottingham at Anfield is certainly a sensation.

[l99l]

Manchester City has not lost any points and they are currently on 9 points.
Erling Haland broke the record by scoring 9 goals in 4 matches in the Premier League and became the first football player to do this in the Premier League.
How will they stop Erling Haland like a truck
other teams have no chance against him.

[Pokapoka124]

Congratulations to Chelsea on getting the late goal to give them a hard earned 3points from away, the defense line of Chelsea lacked proper communication among themselves they were not very solid today as they were so lucky not to have conceded an own goal because the Bournemouth attackers did all to score goals but all things to the Chelsea goal keeper who was so instrumental in making sure that Chelsea get all three points today.

The Issue of starter between Nkuku and Nicolas Jackson, it is the work of the head coach to decide and I believe what ever he decides will stand in respect to who starts first among the player.

Very interesting meeting between the two sides as both sides showed how much they wanted the points. I was almost for a draw when Nkunku scored a goal to give Chelsea the lead and a secured three points at the end of 90mins. This was not the number of goals they would have wished to get but the most important thing is getting all three points in the end. Chelsea didn’t deserve the win, I’d still give my congratulations to Enzo Maresca and Chelsea FC. Maresca should start Nkuku next time and drop Jackson on the bench.

I agree if you say that Southampton is very weak so that Man United can get an easy win this week but on the other hand we can also see a difference in performance from Man United this week, they play much more effectively in taking advantage of opportunities.
Basically Man United will be able to win the match if they get a lot of criticism. lol
And clearly this cannot be proof that Ten Hag has made the Man United team better, not at all.

Challum-Hudson Odoi's only goal was the winner for Nottingham Forest at Liverpool's home ground, the final result of the match This was the Reds' first defeat in the Premier League this season since being coached by Arne Slot. This defeat is a setback in performance experienced by Liverpool after successfully achieving three wins in the last three games.

This was a big surprise, Nottingham Forest managed to take advantage of Liverpool's slack defense so they could score 1 winning goal in the 72nd minute.
I'm not saying that this is a decline in Liverpool's performance, they have played well in this match but it's just that they were unlucky this week.

[EarnOnVictor]

Two upsets happened yesterday, Brighton can't beat Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forrest win against Liverpool. Brighton is just unlucky enough, while Liverpool play really bad, all the strikers including Salah have a bad xG stats.

You can say that again but one is more damaging than the other. Brighton should truly win Ipswich Town but it is what it is despite their better efforts than the away team. Still, it's very encouraging to go away with a point, unlike Liverpool who lost woefully with another bad history written to the name of the club and Arne Slot.

Nottingham Forrest has never been successful at Anfield for the past 55 years, oh, a whole more than 5 decades, but it happened this time, it's painful. But I take exception that Liverpool did not play well, well, they didn't play to get the goal, their attacking is not encouraging but they did suppress the opponent on the field. Let us just conclude that what will happen will surely happen, luck was on the side of Nottingham Forrest. I believe that Nuno made the luckiest decision close to that winning goal time when he activated Callum Hudson-Odoi from the bench. The guy's name is now ringing all around the internet and it's truly worth it.

I think Arsenal vs Tottenham will end in draw.

Arsenal is getting disappointing this season but I still see it winning this match. Arteta can't afford to lose another match this time.

It's weird you don't even give Sanchez credit for this game. He has been showing very impressive performance, and he helped us get three points. If he had not saved us from Bournemouth's penalty, we would not have gotten any points from this game.

Nkuku was exceptional with his ball control and emotion. He needs a good partner. It seems Sancho is good enough. He could be Nkuku's partner.

Jackson was so awful by missing so many chances. It seems they must start to rest him on the bench.

Chelsea's performance was not bad. But our supersub, Nkuku, helped them at the end of the game to win at Vitality Stadium.

[bering]

What do you think about the match between Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest? when everyone thought that Liverpool would win easily because playing at home and with a better squad but in fact Liverpool lost the points, I'm sure many gamblers lost in this match including me.

I am very sure that many gamblers lost this time. Really, the match result was very disappointing. Liverpool wasted too many chances, even this was like a very tight match, many yellow cards were given.

See, what's wrong with their performance?
what a miserable defeat


It starts from losing duels, few rotation, and also poor decision. the players and the coach got big criticism this time.
The problem is, Nottm Forest is not a strong team, they were expected to get full 3 points here, but failed miserably.

Liverpool 0-1 Nottingham Forest: Match Review

At the press conference Arne Slot says Liverpool performance is very dissapointing because he says Liverpool is lack of creativities and indeed during the match i have counted at least Liverpool only gets 3 or 4 the opportunities to scores and this is very less considering Liverpool is really dominate the match and indeed this result is unacceptable because previously Liverpool pertormance is really impressive especially after they beat Manchester United and this makes the fans will think the match against Nottingham Forest could be easy but in fact they have to lost however this is Liverpool Premier League first match at Anfield for this season but unfortunately they have to lost but i believe Liverpool will be able to bounce back and for week 5 against Crystal Palace i think Liverpool will win

[Roseline492]

Manchester United has not lost any points and they are currently on 9 points.

On the contrary Manchester United has already lost two of there important matches which has deprecated there point from there premier League standing, they have only played four matches lost two and win two which means that they have only 6 point instead of the twelve points they would have been having now, well is good that they have been able to win Southampton yesterday if not they would have been approaching to the bottom of the table, however the strategy of Eric Ten Hag work perfectly fine for Manchester United yesterday because Rashford, Garnacho and de ligt was given Manchester United all the performance they needed and this tree players gave Southampton so much difficulty on this match.
