Friday Football Predictions / Preview

April 25, 2008
Palace have a massive game away at Hull on Saturday.  We’ve been on a great run away from home, and if Warnock keeps the same lineup he has for the last few games, we should be able to get the result we need.  Fearless prediction: 2-1 Palace (if Scowcroft doesn’t start); 1-1 (if Scowcroft starts).
 
Chelea and Man U is the other massive fixture that will take place.  Lampard will miss the game because of the recent death of his mother, and I wish him and his family all the best.  Chelsea hasn’t been playing pretty football recently, but they’ve been getting the results.  Man U looked awful against Barcelona on Wednesday, so they won’t be able to take any momentum into this game like I thought they would.  Fearless prediction: Chelsea gets a home win, 2-1.
 
Predictions for other football fixtures:
Man City v. Fulham: 2-0 to City
Sunderland v. Middlesbrough: 1-1
Tottenham v. Bolton: 2-1 to Tottenham
West ham v. Newcastle: 2-2
Wigan v. Reading: 1-0 to Reading
Everton v. Aston Villa: 2-1 to Villa
Portsmouth v. Blackburn: 2-0 to Portsmouth
Celtic v. Rangers: 2-1 to Rangers
 
The final fearless prediction:
Birmingham v. Liverpool: 1-0 to Birmingham

Weekend Football Preview / Predictions

April 19, 2008

This weekend it’s all about Crystal Palace.  We’re away at Watford in a crucial game in the chase for the playoffs.  If we win our remaining three games we’re in.  Simple as that.  Moses faces a late fitness test, but I expect him to play.  Watford has been struggling a bit lately, and Palace have been on a nice streak, so I look for Palace to sneak an away win.  Fearless prediction: 2-1 Palace.

As for the Premier League, look for Arsenal to roll over Reading, West Ham to crush Derby, and Middlesbrough to edge Bolton.  In a double fearless prediction, look for both Blackburn and Fulham to get results against Man U and Liverpool.

Back on Monday with a recap of the weekend’s action.
