As football fans, the International break is definitely not one of our favourite time of the year. Though we don’t have that many friendlies anymore and it’s called the Nations league, it still disrupts the flow of a league season. Some Players return injured or tired after playing 2 games in the space of 10 days.
Having said that, one can't deny that it’s really a much-needed break for teams that are performing poorly or are struggling with their form. This is the time they use to devise new strategies and come back rejuvenated. The international break is almost over and it's time for Premier League football again.
There are a lot of questions going through our mind. For instance; Can Manchester United and Mourinho turn around the dismal start to the season? Will Salah’s loss affect Liverpool’s title credentials? Will Arsenal make it 10 wins in a row? Can Wolves take up the Europe league spot? Which of the bottom 3 get their first win of the season?
To answer all the questions, let's looks at the score prediction for Game Week 9.
Chelsea vs Manchester United
Chelsea are playing fascinating football under Sarri. They would like to build on the back of the 3 – 0 victory away at St. Mary’s stadium. Hazard is on the form of his life with 7 Goals and 3 assists so far in the campaign. Without any doubts, Chelsea are the clear favourites going into this match.
On the other hand, Manchester United are after an awesome comeback victory against the Toffees. But they looked vulnerable at the back during the first half largely because the Midfield was all over the place. If Mourinho can fix that problem against the Blues, they have a good chance of getting something out of this fixture.
Match Prediction: Manchester United wins
Score Prediction: 0 – 1
Bournemouth vs Southampton
After thrashing Watford 4 – 0, Bournemouth climbed to 6th position in the table, at just four points behind League leaders, Manchester City. That’s a clear improvement compared to last season and they would like to add another 3 points to the tally.
With just two points above the relegation zone, Southampton are almost in danger. They showed some fight during the defeat against Chelsea. Things would have been different if Danny Ings had buried the clear-cut chance on the 26th minute. Southampton are still no pushovers and they would look for a point at least.
Match Prediction: Bournemouth wins
Score Prediction: 3 – 2
Cardiff City vs Fulham
The Lowest Goals scored vs The Highest Goals conceded!
Can Cardiff find a way to score? Can they can turnaround this dismal season. They look like relegation contenders, but they will try to win this game against another relegation battlers.
After some drubbing at the hands of Gunners, Fulham should find a way to fix their leaky defence. With the Firepower up front, they will be unhappy to return with empty hands.
Match Prediction: Fulham wins
Score Prediction: 1-2
Manchester City vs Burnley
Pep Guardiola should be content to have avoided another defeat against Liverpool in five matches. They are on top of the table, thanks to the goal difference. However, City are still the team to beat. They make sure it doesn’t happen when they meet The Clarets
After a worrying start to the season, collecting just 1 point from first 5 matches, Burnley are back on track taking 7 from the 9 available points in last 3 matches. They hope to earn at least a point when they meet the league leaders this time.
Match Prediction: Man City wins
Score Prediction: 2-0
Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion
After a disastrous summer, Newcastle played a very good first half at the Old Trafford leading 2-0 at halftime. If they can maintain that performance throughout the match, they can bag even more points. Though they lost the match, their performance in the first half can give them a much-needed boost.
Brighton put an end to their losing streak of 6 games in all competitions with a win over the rejuvenated Hammers. They expect Glenn Murray to lead the attack again, with the veteran already scoring more than half of their goals in this campaign. On 99 goals, Brighton want him to be on target at St James' Park on Saturday and bring his 100th goal.
Match Prediction: Newcastle United wins
Score Prediction: 3-1
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur
West Ham has been playing good attacking football under Pellegrini and were scoring goals for fun. They couldn’t finish the loads of chances they created during their defeat against The Seagulls. If they can find their shooting boots again, they have a good chance of pulling one against the Spurs.
After three straight defeats, Spurs are back with 4 consecutive victories. They expect to add another 3 points to their league tally when they visit the hammers at The London Stadium. Without Vertonghen, Alli, Dembele, Rose and Eriksen they may not find the cohesiveness to beat the Hammers.
Match Prediction: Draw
Score Prediction: 1 – 1
Wolves vs Watford
Wolves are the surprise package in this campaign. 15 points from 8 matches with just a single loss is something extraordinary for a team who just got promoted. They are fantastic to watch and remind us time and again that they belong to Premier League
Watford were abysmal against The Cherries in their last league outing. They collected just 1 point in the last 4 matches. They hope their current blip in form is temporary and put an end to their current winless streak when they visit The Wanderers.
Match Prediction: Draw
Score Prediction: 1-1
Huddersfield Town vs Liverpool
The Terriers are currently scoring at the rate of 0.5 goals per game. Playing against one the tightest defense in the league they may not expect to score more goals. Along with a defence that had conceded the second highest number of goals it’s going to be a tough evening for them.
Liverpool lost their most influential player from last season to injury during the International break. Salah may not hit the form that he is expected to but still he is more important to this team. With Milner out and Van Dijk doubtful Liverpool will have to find some balance.
Match Prediction: Liverpool
Score Prediction: 0-2
Everton vs Crystal Palace
Everton are just finding their feet under Silva. Scoring goals have not been a problem for The Toffees in this season. In fact, they expect to score more when they welcome the Eagles next game. With a number of players doubtful for the next clash, it’s not going to be an easy ride.
Dispossessed a whopping 111 times Crystal palace are on top of the chart. They have the 2nd highest successful dribbles per game, thanks to Zaha. If the Glaziers can retain the ball more and finish their chances well, they can expect something out of the match against Everton.
Match Prediction: Everton
Score Prediction: 2-1
Arsenal vs Leicester City
The Gunners are flying high at the moment with 9 wins in a row in all competitions. Arsenal fans were singing “We got our Arsenal back” during the Fulham game show the progress they have made under Emery. They hope to make it 10 consecutive wins when they meet The Foxes at home.
On their day Leicester are a very good team. After 3 wins, the latest defeat at home to Everton was somewhat a setback. With the pace up front, they are always dangerous during counter attacks. The Foxes will look to inflict some damage with that pace against Arsenal.
Match Prediction: Arsenal
Score Prediction: 3-1
