Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[trendcoin]

However, Vinicius Junior has not made any transfers or does not seem to be going to any. However, Vinicius Junior joining Arsenal will definitely add a new dimension to the Arsenal team's attack.

I don’t think Arsenal would be a good choice for Vini because the competitive environment in England is tougher. Continuing his career with Real Madrid in Spain would be easier than continuing with Arsenal in England. Right now, he’s in his comfort zone at Real Madrid; if he goes to Arsenal, he’ll enter a much more physically and tactically demanding environment in the Premier League...

However, it seems to me that the “dictator Mbappé” factor could lead to outcomes we never expected... :)

Even if this isn’t directly caused by Mbappé, the idea of building the team around Mbappé could create a new narrative for Vini. Because the hierarchy among the stars might place Mbappé at the top. If Vini feels he’s being pushed into the background, he might want to write a new chapter for himself...

You're right, I only watch the highlights, and the worst you can do is to bet on those matches, it's not just worth it. The players are just being accessed. We can see that some are changed even before half-time to give others a chance to be accessed as well. I would start betting on the top leagues only when the league starts. I see that the players on bench even take it more seriously, since they are attempting either a spot in the first XI or a potential interest from other scouting teams.

It is difficult to bet now, many teams are experimenting, letting new and even experienced players play. Of course they do this, many players are still not in the team or are physically behind. It's right to bet when the championships start, it won't be long and we'll start again and it will be fun.

In pre-season matches, a team never goes to the field with the aim of winning, rather the purpose of this game is only to practice, test new strategies, and that is why the results in such matches are always uncertain. That is why betting on such matches is very risky and even a strong team naturally loses in them, so it is better to refrain from betting on them. There are only 15 days left until the start of the Premier League, so stop betting for now and wait, when the league starts, a strong team will start playing with its full strength, so the chances of the results being expected will be good. However, I think it would be better if we observe a few matches before betting immediately after the league starts.

Bruno Guimaraes and Vinicius Junior is definitely going to be a great signings for Arsenal, and we can as well call it their best transfer window ever, because these players are definitely going to improve the performance of them team immensely. I think the Bruno Guimaraes deal will go through,  because the player already has his mind made up to join Arsenal, it's just a matter of time and he will become an Arsenal player. On the other hand I am really sure that they will get Vinicius Junior, even though I really want them to get him. I think Real Madrid still want to keep him, but they don't want to lose him on a free. I also think they are trying to bully him into accepting their offer and that's because they know how important he is to the team. I really think they will come to an agreement and he will stay at Real Madrid.

I haven't heard all these transfer rumors regarding Vinicius' possible transfer to Arsenal. Indeed, from what i glimpsed, i saw a very happy Vinicius in the Real Madrid training fields. So, i don't want to be the one to draw the wrong conclusions, but it seems to me that Vinicius has no intention of leaving the Spanish capital yet.

Mourinho doesn't build a team around anybody, he awards playtime by merit and he benches players who are egoistic. I don't think Mbappe would be an issue this new season. If he continues playing for personal glory instead of team success, then he should prepare to sit down on the bench for longer. Madrid needs Vini, but it's his decision to stay or not and judging from the fact that he's resumed training of monday, I believe there is more possibility of staying back in Madrid than going to England.

Odds are given base on teams strength and performance and lower odd doesn't guarantee that the lower odd will either win the trophy or game. No body believe Liverpool wouldn't perform well last season because the season after last season Liverpool played excellently well and win the trophy that was why they were lower odd last season to also win the tittle but it never worked out they were not even among top 3 teams in the league, so odds are just numbers that doesn't guarantee win or loss.

In fact, they are predictions. That's why it's never taken for granted, otherwise even the team with the highest odds must surely be the one that will never win. Yet, a few years ago, Leicester completely overturned this prediction, making it clear that anything is possible and that the odds are not necessarily right.

There are always surprises that can happen and maybe it's not only small teams that are able to provide occasional surprises at the end of the season, but even big teams like Manchester City and Liverpool also experience the same conditions, the only difference is that perhaps big teams are able to finish the season in a better ranking.
That is why the English League is considered more competitive than other leagues because here the chances of winning the title can change every season.
Even though Manchester City dominated for four seasons in a row with quite strong dominance, in the end they also had to concede to Liverpool and Arsenal in the following season.

Bet odds by betting companies is never the way to know if a team will win or not, before the start of last season, what happened to Liverpool. Liverpool had previously won the league and when the season started, they were tipped to win the league again, even to cap it, they had made tremendous transfer with big names that made us conclude that Liverpool will be a force to reckon with. Liverpool had the lowest odds to retain the league which suggests they were to win it, but the season started and after the 5 matches, things began to change and eventually we saw how the season ended for them. I'm not saying same thing will happen to Arsenal, no, but using odds as a criteria is never a win win situation because the coins can flip at any time.

Odds are given base on teams strength and performance and lower odd doesn't guarantee that the lower odd will either win the trophy or game. No body believe Liverpool wouldn't perform well last season because the season after last season Liverpool played excellently well and win the trophy that was why they were lower odd last season to also win the tittle but it never worked out they were not even among top 3 teams in the league, so odds are just numbers that doesn't guarantee win or loss.

Odds can be deceitful sometimes that's why gamblers have to be strategic with their decision making, lower odds increases the chances of winning but it doesn't always work that way. In Liverpool's case, they deserved the odds they were given, based on their performance the previous year and that's what people who picked them to win judged them with but it failed.

The EPL is not a farmers league where a particular team is in charge for too long although Liverpool were expected to win again cause of how they spent in the transfer window after their last title but it's not also about spending big. The odds was supposed to be in their favour but injury, poor tactical structure, adaptation issues and so on contributed to why the odds didn't favour them.

The team got a new coach after Klopp left and it was the team that Klopp built that help the team won the premier league tittle after Klopp left so the odd was still their favor to win it again last season but it failed. I also believe that this season Arsenal odd to win the league again will be small because of their performance last season but the odd may still failed because other teams are also preparing so well to become the Champions this season, just from your comment the Premier league isn't a league that one team will continue winning the tittle for a long time .

Of course, everything depends on the season's performance. If surprise champions can emerge even in a league like the Premier League, this can happen anywhere in the world. In Spain, Girona was also competing for the championship a few years ago. Championship bets are usually divided among the biggest teams. However, when such surprises occur, very good winnings can be achieved.

Jordan Henderson has transferred to Chelsea despite his advancing age and signed 2 year contract. I didn't think Chelsea would go for a player of his age. He's a quality player but this seems risky to me. It's said they signed him to replace Andrey Santos. This could be a temporary solution. Henderson will benefit the team with his experience. I think nobody expect him to play 50 matches. He can make an impact as part of the rotation. He played in 32 league games with Brentford last season, if he would do the same this season that should be enough.

From what I’ve read in the news, Chelsea’s goal in signing Henderson is for him to pass on his experience and winning mentality to the Chelsea players, most of whom are still young. Henderson isn’t expected to play in many matches, but it’s his presence in the locker room that Xabi is really counting on. Well, to me, if that’s the reason, it makes sense for Chelsea to sign two veteran players: Henderson and Welbeck.

I already thought that when they signed these players, they were bringing them in to mentor the younger players. I think everyone involved in football has the same thought. Because signing older players for a strong team like Chelsea, a team with high expectations, can't be explained any other way. Xabi will ask the experienced players to mentor the younger ones. This might even make them his assistants on the pitch. We'll see what kind of impact this will have for Chelsea. I'm really curious to see Henderson and Welbeck's performances and how many games they'll play.

Many don't understand it, but it depends a lot on how the coach and the team are. It must be a whole and there must be an essential bond between players and coaches. Just look at the fact that every time a team has managed to do very well, it is because there has always been that harmony between the coach and the players. Not only in sport, but also in the personal branch. The probability of 32% is very high, i also notice a lot of confidence from the fans.

However, it seems to me that the “dictator Mbappé” factor could lead to outcomes we never expected...

Even if this isn’t directly caused by Mbappé, the idea of building the team around Mbappé could create a new narrative for Vini. Because the hierarchy among the stars might place Mbappé at the top. If Vini feels he’s being pushed into the background, he might want to write a new chapter for himself...

Mourinho doesn't build a team around anybody, he awards playtime by merit and he benches players who are egoistic. I don't think Mbappe would be an issue this new season. If he continues playing for personal glory instead of team success, then he should prepare to sit down on the bench for longer. Madrid needs Vini, but it's his decision to stay or not and judging from the fact that he's resumed training of monday, I believe there is more possibility of staying back in Madrid than going to England.

Yes, that’s right. Jose Mourinho isn’t a soccer coach who relies on just one player. But he maximizes the potential of the entire squad to deliver the best possible performance. Mourinho won’t tolerate selfish players on his team. He once scolded Cristiano Ronaldo for not helping out on defense. And he also disciplined Balotelli when the player had disciplinary problem. So I personally think that Jose Mourinho will certainly be able to overcome any internal issues at Real Madrid or even on the field. And I believe Jose Mourinho will deliver the same level of performance as he did when he previously coached many star players at Real Madrid. Perhaps Mourinho will turn Mbappé into a goal-scoring machine just as he did with CR7. On the other hand Vinicius Junior’s future remains unclear as all possibilities are still on the table for him. He may extend his contract with Real Madrid or even move to the Premier League to join Arsenal. But I personally believe that Real Madrid still needs him so he’ll stay there.

Although I watched the highlights of the match, I think Liverpool should have won against Leeds even if they played with second-class players. The second half of the match changed dramatically and Liverpool conceded 4 goals. When big teams lose to smaller teams, it can have a negative effect on the bigger team because they didn't need to win that match but should have won. To boost their confidence and to give them the confidence to continue winning matches in the upcoming tournament.

ye, Liverpool didn't have a good match, but come on, they're only friendly matches and we're making mistakes. Of course they should have worked harder, but they are still heavy from training. In my opinion he will be able to have a good season and as a candidate to win the championship he has strong players. Next game they will play better.

[LUCKMCFLY]

 The young Belgian reminds me of the youthful days of Cristiano Ronaldo, I hope he'll end up improving to be like that but if he develops well their attack would be very threatening. So while Arsenal's trying to build a force to match them, PSG is already strong and preparing for the future.

What happens with Arsenal is that they want to make sure they don't make the same mistakes they made even in the same PL, even though they won it because they want to make sure they do well, on the other hand with PSG it's not just a problem for Arsenal, it's a problem for everyone in the UCL team, Madrid, Barcelona, City, Inter, everyone, Arsenal wants to do things better and that's what they want to do. It's something you like.

Arsenal tried last season both in the Premier League and the Champions League. But we have to know that things will not be like that for them on this coming season. Clubs that were down will rise up again. And one thing I noticed from the previous seasons, teams were not doing well in the first quarter of the season but the middle of the season they started doing well and that that was when Manchester United, Chelsea also come up. And in this season Liverpool might rise again. Arsenal didn't make much mistake and they played with their full talents but things didn't work well for them in the champions league.

[pewboy]

I didn't watch the Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid game. I haven't really watched Santos play for Manchester United so I can't say anything about his performance for now. But if you are using his performance against Atletico Madrid to justify that Manchester United needs to balance Chelsea extra £50 million, I think it's too early to say such thing and I will advise you to wait until season start, and if Santos is able to replicate the same performance he displayed against Atletico Madrid through out the season then you can now say that Manchester United rob Chelsea in the Santos deal and they need to balance extra £50 million to Chelsea. Michael Carrick didn't decline to sign Anderson from Atalanta because he has eyes for Santos, what made Anderson deal to fail was because of the knee injury that was identify by Manchester United doctors.

I must say that it was a good match, hopefully Manchester United will return as strong as they once were, they are a historic and important team for football. We'll see how we go as soon as the championship starts, yes, it's a shame about Anderson, he's a good player and i think he would have improved even more in the English championship.

I argued with a friend several times and I’m still on the fact Arsenal would’ve defeated PSG if not for the penalty given as a result of foul play.
People don’t want to accept the fact Arsenal played with PSG really good despite the stats, the actual match says something different totally although Arsenal played a defensive match which affected the team at same time the defensive strategy still helped the club by holding PSG with just one goal for a very long time, I guess we might never know what would’ve happened if PSG was not given the penalty still I fear Arsenal would not allow another goal reason why PSG found it very difficult to score a second goal.

Even if you say it over and over again, I will still doubt it. It seems that you didn't watch the match maybe you're just presuming that arsenal would have win due to the fact that they were the first to score. Remember in football for the fact that you score first doesn't mean you are the winner not until the end, you're making this look as if the referee was being sentimental. The penalty is a well deserved one so I don't see anything like sentiment or whatever, PSG is far more better than arsenal and as such, they are supposed to win.

It has  been said that  Vinicius Junior will be staying at Reald Madrid. He is still very happy at the club, and with the latest signings coming in to the club, like Bernardo Silva and Rodri,  it is obvious is is looking forward to playing a beautiful football with them and even winning the champions league with them. He now knows that with those signings in the squad already, Madrid can win the champions league, which is what he dreams of, and it is also a gate pass to him winning the world best.
He should just come out and tell Arsenal now that he will be staying at Madrid, and stop keeping them in the dark, because the Gunners have been waiting patiently that he doesn't sign a contract at Madrid so that he will sign for them, but from what I've heard so far, Vinicius is definitely staying.
All Arsenal need do now is to look else where, sign someone what a real good quality and threat upfront at that left position, so that they will be more competitive next season.

Apart from the competition in premier league there is also physicality by  opposing teams against attackers perhaps that would definitely hinders the performance of Vinicius Junior if he eventually sign for Arsenal and as a forward left winger which I believe Arsenal had already filled that position formerly occupied by Trossard who had left for Bekistas in Turkey, however with new signing Christos Tzolis in the squad as well as Martinelli both playing in that position
Vinicius Junior would face stiff competition beside that as a forward  left winger you must have the quality of tracking back to defend to assist your team left back, I don't think Vinicius Junior can play defensively because he more attack-minded because of his pace.

Vinicius possible move to Arsenal might look like something that is unachievable but the next shocking news might be that he has actually accepted a move to Arsenal because since he is yet to renew his contract at Real Madrid, we don't know if he wants to leave the club by making a transfer move or waiting till the end of his contract at Real Madrid. There's one thing that people do not know about Vinicius and that is the fact that he doesn't like too much competitiveness where he will not be visible because Bernado Silva and Rodri are capable of outperforming Vinicius so it will no longer be about Vinicius and Mbappe.
      Arsenal have signed quality players namely; Christos Tzolis and Bruno Guimaraes, if they add Vinicius to the squad that means that they will enter beast mode this season where other teams won't see their back. Arsenal has been very inactive in signing top players, this season could just change the narrative for them if they can secure the signature of Vinicius Jr.
