Football Analysis and Predictions

LONDON - Dec. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- The results of the last few weeks have been totally up in the air, who would have predicted a Liverpool loss at Hull or that Spurs would go down 6 – 0 at Manchester City. Even Newcastle are surprising us by finding some consistency. With an exciting midweek fixture list, let’s look at the stats.

Here is a summary of analysis and predictions for the next round of fixtures in the Barclays Premier League.

Wednesday 4th December 2013

Arsenal V Hull City

Analysis and prediction: Arsenal have a near flawless home record and they seem to be firing on all cylinders this season, Ramsey, Giroud, Wilshere and Carzola are all getting on the score sheet and punters are really getting their money’s worth at the sold out Emirates, The start of the season Arsene Wenger haters seem to have disappeared once more. Hull also have a pretty decent home record complimented by their comprehensive defeat of Liverpool at the weekend, but with an 83% away loss record, it’s pretty safe to say, the bookies aren’t expecting a repeat at the Emirates.

Result prediction: Arsenal
Score Prediction: 3 – 1


Liverpool V Norwich

Analysis and prediction: The topsy turvy season for the Meserysiders continues with an unexpected loss at Hull over the weekend. The loss of Sturiddge really showed as the creativity was lacking and Gerrard apart from a great strike couldn’t really influence the game as much as he’d like. Norwich have a pretty dismal away record but the win to Palace at the weekend will keep the wolves at bay for at least another game however the result goes at Anfield for Hughton. Coutinho is back fit and a reaction is required from Liverpool at home. I’m going for an anxious Liverpool win

Result prediction: Liverpool
Score Prediction: 2 – 0

Man Utd V Everton

Analysis and prediction: Straight down the line. The form book shows both of these teams are in form and it is Everton who seem to be playing the more attacking football this season and Man Utd the counter. Maybe this is due to the manager changes, it’s a tough one to call here, Rooney traditionally does well against his old team, but Lukaku, Pienaar and co are in devastating form. I see a well fought out draw here.

Result prediction: draw
Score Prediction: 2 – 2

Southampton V Villa

Analysis and prediction: Southampton are now starting to face the real life in the premiership after the dust has settled. Big teams have formed their pack and narrow wins like the ones over Liverpool and the good draw against United will be harder to come by. Villa have been better of late but have somewhat struggled to score, even with Benteke back. This one is a tricky call where anything can happen, If I were to bet on this I’d like the very short odds handicap option of Villa + 2, yes it’s really one of them.

Result prediction: Southampton
Score Prediction: 1 – 0

Stoke V Cardiff

Analysis and prediction: Stoke have drawn most of their matches at home this season and in those matches the total goals average has been 1.33, so scoring is fairly sparse at home. Cardiff have lost 50% of their away matches and drawn 33% scoring an average of 0.67 goals in the process so chances of an upset are slim. This one smacks of low scoring draw.

Result prediction: draw
Score Prediction: 1 – 1

Sunderland V Chelsea

Analysis and prediction: Sunderland can feel aggrieved at some of the refereeing decisions that have gone against them since Poyet took charge, they have however played a lot better of late yet still sit near the bottom of the table. Chelsea have found a rich vein of form. Torres looks up for it again, and Demba Ba made an impact off the bench. They are even scoring freely from defence in John Terry. I see the Londoners getting a comfortable win here.

Result prediction: Chelsea
Score Prediction: 0 – 2

Swansea V Newcastle

Analysis and prediction: You never know with these two teams. One minute fantastic the next all over the place and that applies to both teams. Swansea have drawn 50% of games this season and won only 17%, there is an average of 3.67 goals in Swansea home games. Newcastle are currently firing, they seem to have clicked after the hard fought draw with Liverpool about a month ago and now sit pretty in 6th position. Just like their shirt colour, it’s black and white with their away form, 50% away wins, 50% away losses. No draws. There are also a lot of goals in matches involving Newcastle away at 3.17, on current form the Toon may edge this one.

Result prediction: Newcastle
Score Prediction: 2 – 3

Fulham V Spurs

Analysis and prediction: Martin Jol, didn’t stay long enough to face off against his old side, maybe just as well, as Spurs seem to now be starting to play the sort of football we expect after their good 2-2 draw with Man United at the weekend. Fulham are simply going backwards, with new management we may see a spark but with only a 17% win record and 67% loss record at home, it’s difficult to look past a Spurs win.

Result prediction: Spurs
Score Prediction: 0 – 2

West Brom V Man City

Analysis and prediction: West Brom under Steve Clarke is a team you really have to play well against to get a result, with 33% draw, win and loss record at home, they will be no rollover for City who we know are not the greatest travelers. it’s worth paying attention to City’s remarkable away record this season. wins 17%, draws 17%, losses 67%! I’m sure Steve Clarke’s men will be going all out for the win, which should make a dramatic encounter. What we do know is that there will be goals, an average of 3 goals is scored in City away matched. I’m tempted to sit on the fence here, but in this topsy turvy premier league, West Brom beating City would seem more normal than most.

Result prediction: West Brom
Score Prediction: 2 – 1
