EPL Weekend Predictions/Results - Dec 17th
Starting Balance: -£7.84
SATURDAY
Aston Villa v Man United
Man United are tough to guage... When you think they are going to come out like fiery animals, they fall asleep, and vice-versa... I think Villa, however, are really struggling for confidence and I just think Man United after their very good result against Wigan will come into this wanting to prove something and move on up the table... Attemping to close the gap with Chelsea who face a tough match v Arsenal.
Prediction: Man United
Odds: 1.72
Result: Man United Win, +£1.44
Everton v Bolton
This is a tough one to predict. It seems Everton are turning the corner and starting to put in the type of performances that allowed them a 4th place finish last year. Bolton on the other hand are going through an inconsistent patch...
Prediction: Draw
Odds: 3
Result: Bolton win 4-0... Yuck! I go down to -56p
Fulham v Blackburn
Another tough call... Blackburn beat Charlton last week, both they are Fulham have been inconsistent... I'm going to go with the home team...
Prediction: Fulham
Odds: 2.2
Result: Fulham win 2-1, excellent, I win 2.40, I'm up £1.84
Portsmouth v West Brom
Ok, Redknapp has had a week with his boys now, and I know he'll have them fired up... West Brom will be happy that they've picked up points v Citeh and I think will roll over comfortably...
Prediction: Portsmouth
Odds: 2.2
Result: Portsmouth win 1-0! Yes, Another £2.40, I go up to £4.24
West Ham v Newcastle
After such a spirited performance last week against Arsenal, Souness is expected to field an unchanged side. West Ham are expected to be missing Sheringham and their central dfender Gabbidon, which also should help...
Prediction: TOON!
Odds: 2.75
Result: Yes! A Michael Owen Hattrick, and goal #199 for #9, we win 4-2! I get 3.50, so I'm up to £7.74 for the day...
Wigan v Charlton
Wigan have the RUNS!!! They went on a run of 6 straight wins (Everton, Bolton, Newcastle, Villa, Fulham, Portsmouth), then went on a run of 5 straight losses (Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man U)... Jewell will want them to start putting more points in the bank immediately and I think they'll be super super up for this one, fighting for every ball...
Prediction: Wigan
Odds: 2.1
Result: Wigan win 3-0! Excellent, I win £2.20! Up to £9.94 for the day!, regardless of the final 2 results I'll be up for the weekend!
Man City v Birmingham
Birmingham have been beat-up by almost everyone this season, they're inconsistant and so are City... Since Birmingham won last week and City lost, let's expect the inconsistency to continue.
Prediction: Citeh
Odds: 1.72
Result: City played well, Birmingham played horribly, I'm up £1.44, total of £11.38 for the day! Excellent haul!
SUNDAY
Middlesbrough v Tottenham
Tottenham are starting to put some good results together again and Middlesbrough are looking tired already...
Prediction: Tottenham
Odds: 2.75
Result: Argh! Final result was a draw... down to £9.38
Arsenal v Chelsea
To be honest, this result doesn't much matter... If Arsenal win, their essentially just picking up the 3 points they would have expected to have got from either of their last 2 matches, against Bolton and Newcastle, and they'll still be WAY off the pace... To be honest, I think I will be cheering for Arsenal, simply because every point that Chelsea drop potentially gives us a glimmer of a championship race, which would be nice... Arsenal have lost 2 straight and they WON'T want to make that 3... At the same time, Chelsea will be up for it too...
Prediction: Draw
Odds: 3
Result: Argh! Why, oh why would I bet against Chelsea! Ha! down to £7.38
Starting Balance: -£7.84
Weekly +/-: +7.38
Ending Balance: -0.46
Well a decent weekend gets me almost back to par... Let's see how I do over the holidays...
