Well what a big weekend this could turn out to be in the race for promotion.
Six of the top six teams play each other.
West Brom v Sunderland.
Bham v Cardiff.
Preston v Southampton.
Lets look at each game and see if i can predict the result
West Brom v Sunderland. brings together 2 of the in form teams in the division (i know the top 8 are all in form but these two have both won 4 of the last 6 games.
It promises to be a cracker of a game with both teams better going forward then defending.With the Baggies going into extra time in midweek and having played a lot of games recently.i feel the best they can hope for is a draw. My prediction 2-2.
Bham V Cardiff.Bham fans are not happy with Bruce or the team.I say you are top of the league what more do you want.I know you have not been playing flowing football but you are winning matches which is the most important thing for example look at Arsenal they play free flowing football but the only competition they can win now is the champions League and that dream may be over by this time next week.Sorry i digress i think this game will see a Cardiff win they played well last week at the Albion even though they were without some key players.Bham fans will get on the teams back especially if Cardiff score first. My prediction 1-2.
Preston V Southampton this is the Monday night game on sky and should be a very good game with the Saints being the highest scorers away from home.Preston have seen a dip in form recently losing 3 of the last 6 games, with the Saints losing 2 of the last 6.In what will be an entertaining game my prediction 1-3.
The other two top 8 teams Derby & Wolves have slightly easier games against Luton & Colchester respectively.
Wolves Are the form team winning 5 of the last six games mainly 1 Nil but this does not matter i remember the Baggies winning 1 Nil a lot a few years ago to get promotion.As i said the most important thing is winning and getting 3 points.
My predictions are:
Luton v Wolves 0-2
Derby V Colchester 1-0.
If these predictions are correct then the table will look like this on Monday night:
1 Derby 66 pts
2 Albion 64 pts
3 Bham 64 pts
4 Soton 62 pts
5 Cardiff 62 pts
6 Wolves 62 pts
7 Sundland 61 pts
8 Preston 59 pts
Obviously i hope Albion win and the rest either draw or lose but we shall wait and see.
These are my thoughts on the weekend matches and my predictions.I do not claim to be an expert and if you choose to follow my predictions on your head be it.If you do follow my predictions and they make you some money i would just like to say that all donations are welcome.
