Sunderland v WBA
Sunderland under Martin O’Neil have been a tough nut to crack at home. They score and concede 0.75 goals at the Stadium of Light. However, they have only kept a clean sheet in 25% of their home matches which translates to me that they are always likely to let 1 goal in. But in Fletcher they have a play that can get 1 goal back. They record at home is not too formidable, however whereas most teams have already played 6 or 7 home games, Sunderland has played only 4. O’Neill will look to the home games in hand to lift his team for their current 15th spot. WBA have been exceeding all expectations so far this session, but the question is, will it last? I do not believe so. They score an average of 1 goal an away game, and concede 1.6 goals. Another interesting stat is that they have not kept a clean sheet on the road this season. Also, none of Sunderlands home games this session have finished Over 2.5 goals. Therefore my prediction is a 1-1 draw. My best bet is both teams to score. (7/10)
Everton v Norwich.
Everton will be without Fellaini for this match who has been their man of the season so far. However, by no means has Everton been a 1 man team. They score an average of 2 goals a game at home, which is exactly the same amount as Norwich concede on the road. Another interesting stat is that Everton have never failed to score at home and Norwich have never managed to keep a clean sheet. I think it is far to say, Everton will score. (There is no value in Everton to score at anytime) Although they beat Man U, I do not believe they will leave with any points. Everton will score, and Norwich average 0.5 goals on the road, so they are not likely to find the back of the net. My prediction, Everton to win 2-0. Best bet, Everton to win (9/20)
Man U v QPR
Danger Mark Hughes, Danger. Man United have lost two games in a row, and it will not be three. At Old Trafford, United score an average of 3 goals a game, but they do concede 1.6 goals. In total, we looking at just under 5 goals a game. Hughes is walking a tight rope, and I believe he is favourite to follow Di Matteo to the unemployment line. QPR are with out a win, and will not win this weekend. My Prediction, Man U to win 4-0. Best Bet, Man U Over 3.5 goals (9/10)
Wigan v Reading
A tough game to call, statistically, both teams are very similar. However, I believe Wigan would have identified this as a game they must win to ensure another year in the EPL, and in Kone and Dos Santos, they have two strikers who can get goals. My Prediction, Wigan to win 2-1. Best Bet, Wigan to win (9/10)
Stoke v Fulham
Another tough game to call for different reasons. Stoke are built on a tough, unforgiving defence. They have only conceded 0.2 goals at home a game this season. The best home defensive record in the league. At the same time they only score 0.8 goals a game at home. Only QPR and Sunderland score lower. At the same time, Fulham away matches have averaged 4.5 goals a game. I do believe though that the defence of Stoke will come out on top if they can keep Berbatov quiet, which they can. My prediction, Draw 1-1. Best Bet, under 2.5 goals- (8/10)
Aston Villa v Arsenal
Lambert is another manager under pressure. They concede more goals at home that they score, but they always score at home. Arsenal need to prove that they are genuine Top 4 contenders. Podolski and Giroud seem to have found the scoring touch, and will look to win this game.
My prediction, Arsenal to win 3-1. Best Bet, Both teams to score. (6/10)
Swansea v Liverpool
Swansea seem to have stabilised under their new manager, and welcome Brendan Rodgers back to Wales. Swansea at home are always tough, and they will take confidence in having beaten Liverpool at Anfield. This game will be tough with Swansea wanting to prove they do not miss BR, and Liverpool wanting to prove that they are on the right track. Liverpool have not kept a clean sheet away but have a better record away than at home. Swansea are also not too solid at keeping clean sheets. Also, with Vorm injured, I believe they are more likely to concede. My prediction, Liverpool to win 2-1. Best Bet, Both teams to score. (13/20)
Southampton v Newcastle
Newcastle may be without Ben Arfa, Cisse, Ba and Cabaya. How deep is their squad? Not deep enough to truly replace these players in my opinion. There are goals in Southampton home games though, and I think this will continue. Southampton have never kept a clean sheet at home. Newcastle away are a little tighter, and with the loss of so much attacking talent, they may look to sneak a goal and use very good defensive players to keep Southampton out. I do sniff a shock win for Southampton and may be the upset of the weekend. My prediction though is 2-2. Best bet, both teams to score. (5/10)
Chelsea v Man City
Di Matteo Out, Rafa in. Will that make a difference to the team? Not sure, but it should do much to change the outcome of this game. Chelsea have been poor of late. Chelsea have gone 3 games with out a win, though at home, they are averaging 2.33 goals a game. City have not been as prevalent infront of goal away from home this season averaging only 1.4 goals a game. That being said, there will be goals in this game, and more will be in the favour of Man City. My Prediction, 2-3 Man City. Best Bet, Over 2.5 goals. (13/20)
Tottenham v West Ham
Spurs is another team better away than they are at home in terms of scoring. Where 100% of their away games finish over 2.5 goals, whereas only 33% are over 2.5 at home. Spurs though will want a win, and should get it. I initially though 2-0 to Spurs but defensively...and Gallasly, their defence gives me pause. My prediction 2-1. Best Bet, Spurs to win (NA)
