KOPA’S Prediction Corner EPL 19-20 Sep 2009

Last week kopa got 4 out of 10 English Premier League results right,now again blogger is back to look at the fixture to view and predict the matches. here are the prediction for the 6th week of the Premier league.

1 – Burnley v Sunderland

A strong home support for Burnley  can give trouble to Bruce’s men as they will battle for two consecutive victories. Sunderland have improved very much under Steve Bruce, which they showed last week, and in the presence of inform Bent, it will be more difficult for Burnley to stop Sunderland. A tough game for Burnley, and i expect them to come short in this one.

MY CALL : Burnley 1-2 Sunderland

2 – Aston Villa v Portsmouth

Porthmouth with an extremely poor start, 5 defeats in 5 game, will be desperate to take points this week, but they have not a strong enough squad to beat Aston Villa. Villa had a great victory in Birmingham derby last week after a poor home start to the season. But will win this time against week Portsmouth side.

MY CALL : Aston Villa 2-0 Portsmouth

3 – Bolton v Stoke

Stoke gave a very tough time last week to Chelsea but injury time strike from Malouda shattered their hopes, but they are playing well, showing great intention to keep their side in top 10. Bolton’s big away victory against Portsmouth last week will give them boost to keep their team together for more victories, both teams are playing well.

MY CALL : Bolton 1-1 Stoke

4 – Arsenal v Wigan

Despite a 1-0 victory for Wigan, they will keep their unpredictibality alive. Arsenal after a last week defeat at Manchester City will strongly come back this week, they have a good squad, and after mid week europe victory and Rosicky’s comeback, they will keep themselves favourite side in EPL title. An easy victory for Arsenal from my opinion.

MY CALL : Arsenal 3-0 Wigan

5 – Hull v Birmingham

Hull City are struggling this season a lot, last week’s 4-1 defeat showed that they have to make their strategy strong against the week teams as well. Birmingham on the other hand are struggling with any goal scorer. They have played well, they have worked hard on field, but did not manage to score. But still i predict a victory for MCleish’s men.

MY CALL : Hull 0-1 Birmingham

6 – West Ham v Liverpool

Liverpool after a bad start to the season have started picking themselves together to win games, injuries worries are with them as Aurelio, Agger and new signing Aquilani are still out of action. Zola’s men are struggling with consistency. Liverpool have good enough squad to beat Westham United.

MY CALL : West Ham 0-2 Liverpool

7 – Man Utd v Man City

A Manchester derby, always an interesting match to watch. Sir Alex Ferguson signed Mark Hughes for a record fee of £1.8 million from Spanish side Barcelona a long time ago and now Ferguson will be facing the player whom he groomed for many years in a derby match. Manchester City will surely struggle in the absence of their strike trio, Adebayour, Robinho and may be Tevez. But still they have got enough to trouble the teams like Manchester United. Also there are worries for Man U as Scholes is suspended, Ferdinand is doubtfull and Van Der Sar injured. Will be an equal match. A draw from me.

MY CALL : Man Utd 1-1 Man City

8 – Wolves v Fulham

Wolves  have just 4 points in 5 games, but they are really working hard, and as time is passing, they are giving more tough time to opponents, on the other hand Fulham is struggling in their midfield and front and showed big lack of creativity, they will have a difficult away game this week. Although Fulham’s defense is one of the strongest in EPL, but still i think Wolves will manage to win.

MY CALL : Wolves 1-0 Fulham

9 – Everton v Blackburn

Everton carrying a big injury list will enter this game. The absence of Jagielka, Arteta and now Neville is a big trouble for Everton, but Yakubu is most likely to start the game this week, which will give Everton a big boost up front. I expect a tough time for Everton as Rovers will be looking for another victory because of Everton’s injury problems, but we know Blackburn away form is very pathetic as compared to their home games. I think Everton will clinch victory after tough game.

MY CALL : Everton 2-1 Blackburn

10 – Chelsea v Tottenham

Chelsea haven’t lost any game in EPL, and Tottenham with 4 wins in 5 matches showed that they are a real threat to all teams, but will there winning form continue as they visit Stamford Bridge with nice balanced team? This encounter will surely tell us that how far will Spurs go this season.

MY CALL : Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham
