English Premier League 2012 Preview: Aston Villa vs Swansea City Predictions

Can Aston Villa continue their tear? We'll see when they face Swansea City in the English Premier League

Aston Villa Preview

A loss to Everton 1-3 and a tie 1-1 to Newcastle leave Aston Villa towards the bottom of the list in the EPL standing. Skipper Paul Lambert has a big task on his hands and knows it will take a team effort to pull themselves out of this hole. One of Villas biggest problems is that they have a mix of young talent and a combination of a couple world-class players who have proven PL ability.

Swansea City Preview

Swansea City sits at an impressive 2nd place in the EPL. After coming off impressive wins over West Ham 3-0 and Barnsley 3-1. Swansea continues to show that they do not lack firepower from the offensive side and look every bit of impressive on defense. Though there is one setback from the defense and that is Neil Taylor will miss the season with a severe broken ankle.

Aston Villa vs Swansea City Predictions: 2-1

Aston Villa just came off of a fresh 1-1 draw last week against Newcastle United. Thanks to the help of Ben Arfa who bailed Newcastle with a amazing goal as Aston Villa saw a victory taken before their eyes . They have Swansea this week I believe this will be a great and close match but, with the home crowd behind Aston Villa and the bitter loss from last week they will squeak a victory.

English Premier League 2012 Preview: Fulham vs W.B.A Predictions

Will Fulham bounce back from their loss last week? Let's see if West Brom has anything to say about that.

Fulham Preview

Fulham is not in the best spirits after a disappointing loss 2-3 to Manchester United and suffered a beating from West Ham United losing 3-0. On a positive note they can take their loss in stride against Manchester U. Fulham could not get it going against West Ham leaving them in disarray and scoreless.

W.B.A Preview

High octane West Brom had a close call after closing out a tough victory 4-2 over Yeovil in a clash at the Capital One Cup.

West Brom’s two scores came from mid fielder Shane Long and a goal each from Chris Brunt and Craig Dawson. It’s no puzzle that West Brom can score with the best of them also earlier this week WBA pulled off an impressive 2-0 win over Everton getting goals by stud striker Shane Long and Gareth McAuley. West Brom did the honors by ending Everton's 11-match winning streak in the Premier League.

Fulham vs W.B.A Predictions: 2-3

West Brom packs a nice offensive punch that will be more than Fulham can handle though it won’t be a push over West Brom will walk away with this match.

English Premier League 2012 Preview: Manchester United vs Wigan Athletic Predictions

Check out the clash of the titans when Manchester United go head up with Wigan Athletic this week in the English Premier League.

Manchester United Preview

We knew that Robin van Persie's move from Arsenal to Manchester United would pay off in a big way pulling off a hat trick Manchester 2-3 over Southampton.

Scoring in just what RVP does.

The addition of van Persie just added more fuel to the fire United already loaded with talent still has super stud striker in Wayne Rooney through whom their offense generates.

At the end of the day United is still United and will be their when it’s all said and done.

Wigan Athletic Preview

Wigan Athletic wasted no time in the first half. Scoring 3 of their 4 goals coming off of a 4-1 victory over Nottingham. Nottingham Forest got a quick score right after the break and had a one man up advantage for the last 22 minutes following a red card that was given to Wigan’s centre back Antol?n Alcaraz.

Manchester United vs Wigan Athletic Predictions: 3-0

Man U’s Robin van Persie 3 goal hat-trick gave Manchester United not only the 3-2 win over Southampton but gave skipper Sir Alex Ferguson's 1000th league game as a manager. Here is the scary thing about this game super striker Robin Van Persie can have the same type of game against Wigan Athletic. Let's face it Manchester United just has way to much firepower for a lot of teams in the Premier League.

English Premier League 2012 Preview: Stoke City vs Manchester City Predictions

Manchester City will look to dominate once again but, will Stoke City have something to say about it.

Stoke City Preview

Stoke City is looking every bit of unimpressive at home with recent draws to Arsenal (0-0) and Wigan (2-2) also getting a hat trick pulled on them by Swindon’s James Collins in non league. Stoke City needs all the help that they can get. Recently, acquired 32 year old striker Michael Owens, who was released by Manchester United last season. Owens looks to help a struggling Stoke City offense scored 5 goals in 31 appearances for Manchester back in 2009.

Manchester City Preview

Manchester City came off of a 3-1(H) thrashing of QPR last weekend and draw 2-2(A) against Liverpool. Scoring machine Mario Balotelli will sit this game out and be out 10 days for eye surgery due to the wear of contact lenses. Never the less Manchester City still sits in 4th place in the Barclays and will continue to be one of the elites in the league.

Stoke City vs Manchester City Predictions: 1-2

Manchester City made easy work out of QPR 3-1 with goals by their talented young core of strikers Yaya Tour, Edin Dzecko and stand out Carlos Teves. Though they will be without the services of Balotelli, Manchester lead behind the big 3 will be enough to dispose Stoke City. The fact of the matter is Stoke City doesn’t match well with the speed of Manchester City's mid fielders thus making it difficult to beat the visiting Manchester City team.

English Premier League 2012 Preview: Reading vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

Reading will look to see if they can continue their offensive tear against Tottenham.

Reading Preview

Reading came off of recent Capital One Cup action by defeating Peterborough 3-1 at home but Reading hasn’t been so hot in Barclay’s play coming off a recent loss 2-4 Chelsea and 1-1 draw against Stoke. Their recent victory saw a glimpse of what their offense should be like as the home crowd witness Reading score 4 quick goals in 7 minutes. Reading knows they can compete in the Premier League they just have to put a couple of matches together and show the world what they are capable of doing on offense.

Tottenham Hotspur Preview

Tottenham is also a team that has fallen into an offensive slumber by coming off of a pair of draws at home to Norwich (1-1) and West Brom (1-1) then losing to Newcastle back on the 18th. The problem is Tottenham is putting together poor 1st halves and causing these equalizers. It’s no wonder by we see Tottenham drifting to the bottom of the standings. It wasn’t looking good for Tottenham until they were saved by Moussa Dembele’s 18 yard strike at the 68 min mark.

Reading vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions: 0-2

Tottenham will be looking to get off the block and see if they can put some offense together. Their recent equalizers have been anything but impressive for the home crowd. Good thing is they have Reading this week. The Spurs will look to dominate from start to finish their defense is good enough to hold a team like Reading at the end of the day this is money in the bag and chalk up an easy win for Tottenham.

English Premier League 2012 Preview: Queens Park Rangers vs Chelsea Predictions

Let's see if Queens Park can pull off another blow out when they face Chelsea this week in the English Premier League.

Queens Park Rangers Preview

QPR 3 Walsall 0 Thanks to Bobby Zamora’s sweet chippy helped QPR lock in the Capital One Cup third round against Walsall tonight at Loftus Road.

QPR dominated the match avoiding a third straight defeat in the competition to lower league.

QPR struck 1st in the first period then went on to take the the lead when Zamora whose through-ball was placed perfect for Shaun Wright-Phillips to prod home right before the half-hour mark.

QPR were almost pulled back by Walsall as Mid fielder William Grigg topped the bar after the break, but Once again Zamora put the Hoops back on top the with an inspired chip.

Jose Bosingwa also scored on a late goal to wrap things up for QPR, welcomed back Alejandro Faurlin and Kieron Dyer whom both played well and returned from injury.

Chelsea Preview

Chelsea skipper Roberto Di Matteo took a trip down memory lane when asked the last time Chelsea stood at the top of the Barclays Premier League. “It was in November 2010,” the Blues retorted yesterday, in excitement.

The fact that Di Matteo could even remember the date at all was every bit of impressive.

But that date was so long to remember and a reminder of how Chelsea allowed themselves to plunder the last 2 seasons but now find themselves at the top of the standings. Chelsea has put together a 3 win start coming off of victories over Reading (4-2 and Newcastle 2-0)

“We have the opportunity to win. Hopefully, we will continue to play well and reap the reward.”

Queens Park Rangers vs Chelsea Predictions: 0-2

Chelsea was lead by stud striker Eden Hazard whom once again was the standout player in the 2-0 victory over Newcastle. Chelsea will come into this match with the same intensity looking to dominate QPR from start to finish. QPR just doesn’t have the firepower needed to keep up with Chelsea also don’t forget that Chelsea runs a stingy defense.

Spanish La Liga 2012 Preview: Getafe vs Barcelona Predictions

Barcelona will look to continue their reign of dominance when they go up against Getafe in this week's La Liga.

Getafe Preview

Getafe comes off of a 1-1(A) equalizer against Deportivo and a win 2-1(H) against Real Madrid on the 26th of August. They will have a big test against Barcelona this week. Getafe’s offense is lead by mid fielder Abdelaziz Barrada who looks to continue provide the offensive punch needed by Getafe. Getafe did look good against Real Madrid especially from the dead balls. Let’s see if they can put together another spectacular showing against Barcelona.

Barcelona Preview

Barcelona still remains in 1st in La Liga by topping Valencia 1-0(H) last Sunday and 2-1 victory (A) vs Osasuna. Though some internal problems within the team young mid fielder Cesc Fabregas has expressed his frustrations of not getting the offensive opportunities he’s looking for. On a positive note Messi is still doing his thing providing his offense scoring punch.

Getafe vs Barcelona Predictions: 1-4

Home or Away does it really matter with Barcelona?. Barcelona has arguably the world’s best player in Andres Iniesta so, their unprecedented offense is without glitch and they are very sound on defense. Getafe doesn’t stand a chance even at home.

Can Malaga continue their roll? Let's see if Levante can play spoiler in this match. Catch real time updates on your favorite Spanish La Liga Match.

Malaga Preview

Last minute substitute Juanmi saved a point for Malaga as they drew 1-1 with Real Mallorca.

The forward had only been on the field for nine minutes before he evened out Tomer Hemed's strike at the 67th minute mark.

Both teams went into the match in great form. Malaga came in winning their Primera Division opener against Celta Vigo also before defeating Panathinaikos in their Champions League play-off encounter also Malaga still on their unbeaten start in the Primera Division season capped off a 1-0 victory at Real Zaragoza with the help of Nacho Camacho's second header.

Levante Preview

Levante pulled off a beautiful 3-2 comeback win against Espanyol and earn their first Primera Division victory of the campaign.

Espanyol looked like they had this one in the bag especially taking a commanding a 2-0 lead inside the opening 25 minutes with the help of their new signings over the summer Samuele Longo and Sergio Tejera.

However, Levante started to fight back at the start of the second half to draw even with quick strike goals from Juanlu and Christian Lell and then, their set back was losing star striker Vicente Iborra to a red card in the 82nd minute, the home team had points taken the points when Michel's cross was deflected in three minutes in stop time.

Malaga vs Levante Predictions: 3-1

Malaga has a couple good things going for them. They are playing in front of their home crowd and 2) they can run up the score in a hurry. Levante is not as quick upfront and so they will have a hard time with Malaga’s midfielders. Look for an easy win for Malaga.

Sevilla Preview

Sevilla comes off of a couple of equalizers against Rayo (A) 0-0 and Granada (A) 1-1 Their only win coming at the start of the season 2-1 against Getafe(H) It’s a surprise with the offensive sputter that we are witnessing from Sevilla Weve seen it in the past with Sevilla putting up 5 goals against Rayo last May and also blanking Real Zargoza 3-0 So, it’s a funk that they are going through Let’s see if we’ll see a different Sevilla team this weekend.

Real Madrid Preview

Real Madrid just came off of a smashing against 3-0 last Sunday at home and an even a more impressive victory over Barcelona 2-1(H) last week. Real Madrid though going through some distractions about their franchise player Ronaldo wanting to leave the team. Ronaldo claimed “It’s professional issues” but ,nothing to want to be traded over or leave the team. Real Madrid still the world class organization that they are sits in the middle of the standing with 1 win,1 loss and 1 draw.

Sevilla vs Real Madrid Predictions: 1-2

Sevilla with the home crowd behind will make this still an interesting match to watch but, I don’t think they have enough to contend with Real Madrid .This though would be the time for them to come out of their offensive funk it just won’t be in this match . Real Madrid will take this one on the road.

Will this be the match that Liverpool will pull out their 1st win of the season? Let’s see if Sunderland has anything to say about that.

Sunderland Preview

Sunderland starts the Premier League with 2 equalisers recently coming from their away match against Swansea City 2-2(A). Swansea totally dominated them with 11 more shots on goal 15(7) to Sunderland’s 4(2). Swansea had 8 corner kicks to Sunderland’s 0 and time of passion was dominated by Swansea as well 64% to Sunderland’s 36%. On a positive note with all that being said their defense was good enough to keep Swansea at bay.

Liverpool Preview

Liverpool comes into this match with a recent loss to Arsenal 2-0(H). Their home fans should be highly disappointed with their play after being blanked. Liverpool dominated the shots on goal 19(4) to Arsenal’s 11(5) and also held the ball longer then their counterparts 53 %( Liverpool) to Arsenal’s 47%. On paper, Liverpool looked like the better team but, in reality it was Arsenal who ran away with the victory. The Reds are in a tremendous scoring slump just being able to come up with 1 score in their last 3 matches. This is a much needed win for them against Sunderland. Liverpool has to get on track here.

Sunderland vs Liverpool Predictions: 1-2

Liverpool will get their long awaited win vs Sunderland. This is the game where they will put their offense to use this season. Liverpool is a much better team then we’ve recently seen. I see them much like their game against Arsenal controlling the tempo of this match.

It was in thanks to a shot by Hatem Ben Arfa that caused the tie for Newcastle which many though Aston Villa had the match won.

Valencia Preview

Valencia came off of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Barcelona (A) last weekend and a 3-3 equaliser against Deportivo (H) the week before. Valencia is going through offensive woes looking to see who’ll step up on offense. In this early season, they have scoring production coming from Roberto Soldado2, Sofian Feghouli 1 and Jonas 1 not much output from Valencia. Against Deportivo, Valencia had a comfortable 2-0 lead only to see it squander and ending in the 3-3 draw. We know there is a much better Valencia team by what we have seen we are just waiting for them to show it.

Celta Vigo Preview

Celta Vigo starts La Liga with a 1-2 record.Recently, with a 2-0 (H) win over the visiting Osasuna thanks to a pair of 2nd half goals from Iago Aspas and Mario Bermejo were enough to give Celta Vigo their 1st victory in the Primera Division in five years.

Valencia vs Celta Vigo Predictions: 3-1

Valencia playing at home and getting on track with the offense we know that they are capable of playing. Valencia packs a superb offense and their defense is up to par. Celta Vigo will be the recipient of this beat down this week end. Celta Vigo flat out doesn’t have the speed to play with Valencia. Look for Valencia to dominate from start to finish.

Tough way for any team to start a season. Espanyol is looking for their 1st win after starting La Liga 0-3 with their losses coming from Levante 2-3(A) last Sunday a home loss to Real Zaragoza 1-2(H) and Mallorca to start their season 1-2(H). Espanyol is really bad and they need to pull this together especially 2 of their matches at home. This doesn’t give the home fans much to write home about. Let’s see if they can put something together against Athletic Bilbao this weekend.

Athletic Bilbao Preview

Bilbao comes off of an impressive 2-0 win over Valladolid at home last Sunday. The most impressive thing about their victory was there defense holding Valladolid to 8 shots on goal to their 16. The host were without once again Fernando Llorente and mid fielder Ander Herrera both out again with strained muscles. But, they could rest as Athletic Bilbao never looked behind in this match.

RCD Espanyol vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions: 1-0

Though I might end up shooting myself in the foot. Im going to make this my pick of the week and say that Espanyol will get their much needed win this week against Athletic Bilbao. They need not only to win get their 1st win but, they need to show their home fans that they are better than what their record shows.

Spanish La Liga 2012 Preview: Granada vs Deportivo La Coruna Predictions

This is a much needed win for Granada .Can they pull this off against Deportivo La Coruna. Catch real time updates on your favorite Spanish La Liga Match.

Granada Preview

Granada came off of a 3-0(A) loss to Real Madrid and 1-1 draw Sevilla (A). A big concern from the Real Madrid game are there to stats 1) Granada’s 7 shots(0) on goal to Real Madrid 22 also their time of possession being 29% to Real Madrid 71% those 2 stats would make any one turn their heads. Unfortunately, Granada will go up against a team that is the same caliber of Real Madrid when they face Deportivo this weekend.

Deportivo La Coruna Preview

Deportivo comes off of a pair of equalizers against Getafe (H) 1-1 and an away draw against Valencia 3-3. Their match was evenly played against Getafe in terms of their time of possession on 58% to Getafe 42% and their shots on goal 10 (5) to Getafe 13(4). This also is a much need win and not only that but, a jump start for La Coruna to get back on track. This is a very good team make no mistake about La Coruna is for real and they are a much better team then they have been showing as of late.

Granada vs Deportivo La Coruna Predictions: 2-1

Granada with the home team behind them will break out of their slump the pressure is on them but, with them playing at home will help them boost their confidence. I see this being a well fought game but, there is nothing like playing at home.

Osasuna Preview

Osasuna sits at the bottom of the standins with an 0-3 record with a loss to Celta Vigo 1-0(A) , Barcelona 1-2(H) and in their opener against Deportivo 0-2(H). Their shots on goal were held to a minimal 7(4) to Celta Vigo 12(4) but, what really stood out was their fouls 15 to Celta’s 5. Osasuna is really bad they lack scoring and on the defense side of things they are not any better.

Mallorca Preview

Mallorca comes into this game standing in 2nd place undefeated with a 2 and 1 draw record. They came off of a win last Sunday against R Sociedad(H) 1-0 and a draw against Malaga. It took the 75th minute for Mallorca to finally score against the stingy defense of Sociedad. It was a well fought game that could have anyone’s way the time of possession belonged to Sociedad controlling the game 53% to Mallorca’s 47%. Mallorca controlled the shots 15(5) to 11(3) Sociedad. Mallorca’s V?ctor Casades?s scored the only goal of the game with a header in the 75th minute.

Osasuna vs Mallorca Predictions: 1-1

Yes Osasuna will make a game out this playing at home against the 2nd rank team. With their home team behind them this will give them the boost that they certainly need. I see an equalizer coming out of this match not quite the win Osasuna needs but, then again it’s not a loss either.

Real Sociedad and Real Zaragoza will be a battle this weekend in La Liga. Catch real time updates on your favorite Spanish La Liga Match.

Real Sociedad Preview

Real Sociedad comes off of a 1-0 loss to Mallorca (A) but a 2-1 win at home against Celta Vigo. Their 1-2 record puts them towards the bottom of the standings. Though against their match against Mallorca, they conceded only one goal the beauty of it was that it took Mallorca the 75th minute for them to score. Real Sociedad proved that they have a decent defense the only problem since their opener they have yet to put up more than 2 goals a match. They also controlled the time of possession having it 53% to Mallorca’s 47%.

Real Zaragoza Preview

Real Zargoza like Real Sociedad sits towards the bottom of the standings with an identical record of 1-2. Just coming off of a loss against Malaga(H) 1-0 an away win against Espanyol 2-1 but, lost their home opener against Valladolid 1-0. In their recent match against Malaga it was even throughout the stats 11 shots on goal(4) for Zaragoza and 11(3) for Malaga. Time of possession was 51% Malaga and 49% Real Zaragoza.

Real Sociedad vs Real Zaragoza Predictions: 2-1

These are much needed wins for either teams. They can’t afford to slip anymore . With Real Sociedad playing in front of their home crowd they have the advantage. These are 2 very sound teams on defense and their last matches proved that. This will definitely be a great match to watch. I look for Real Sociedad to pull this out at home.

Spanish La Liga 2012 Preview: Atletico Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

Can Atletico's Falcao run another hat trick? Let's see what Rayo Vallecano has to say about that. Catch real time updates on your favorite Spanish La Liga Match.

Atletico Madrid Preview

Atletico starts La Liga with a 1-1 record but, even more impressive is their high scoring output in their last 2 matches. 4-1(A) against Chelsea and 4-0 against Athletic Bilbao (4). In their last match, against Chelsea Atletico mid fielder Radamel Falcao had a field day with them going for the hat trick scoring in the 6, 19,45 min of the match. Falcao’s second hat trick in 4 days out gunning Fernando Torres. Atletico has a talented core group and can put run the score at any given time.

Rayo Vallecano Preview

Rayo comes in with an impressive 2-0-1 to start the young season. Just coming off of a draw against Sevilla. Rayo can count themselves lucky because if it weren’t for the fact that Sevilla missed 2 penalties it could have easily meant a loss for Rayo. Sevilla had more shots on goal against Rayo 18(3) to Rayo’s 13(4) and time of possession went dead even to both clubs 50% each.

Atletico Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions: 3-1

Atletico will be at home against Rayo Vallecano with their crowd behind them and their potent offense I see a blow out coming in favor of the home team. Atletico is a much faster team who knows how to turn it on at any given time. They’ll dominate this match from start to finish.

Athletic Bilbao dominated and doubled the output of the shots on goal 16(3) to Real Valladolid 8(1) and time of possession 52% to 48%.Real came off of 2 shut out wins to start their season against Levante 2-0 and Zaragoza 1-0 so, it was odd to see them struggle against Athletic to put some points up. Let’s see if they can put their offense back together for this upcoming game.

Real Betis Preview

Real Betis comes into this match with a 1-1-1 record with their recent loss against Rayo. Probably, most impressive was their scoring out against Athletic when they won their match 5-3 all of their goals coming from the second have after giving up 3 goals in the 1st. Real Betis has moments when they look brilliant but, then they go into a lull where they are nowhere to be found.

Real Valladolid vs Real Betis Predictions: 2-1

Real Valladolid is for real and their record proves it other then their recent loss what makes them a great team is the fact they don’t give up point. I see this being a dog fight for both teams but, in the end the home team Real Valladolid takes this one.

Both teams look to advance in the Premier League . Will it be Swansea City or Everton? Catch real time updates on your favorite English Premier League Match.

Swansea City Preview

Swansea City’s 2-0-1 record is respectable enough to earn them a second place standing in the English Premier League. Despite coming off of the draw at home. Swansea’s previous matches were offensive explosions. An impressive win at home against Barnsley 3-1 and their opening match against West Ham (H) enjoying a 3-0 trouncing. Swansea City primarily relies on the scoring of mid fielder Michu who currently leads the team with 4 goals in 3 games.

Everton Preview

Everton enters the match with a 2-1-0 record that earns them a 6th place standing in the Premier League. Like Swansea City, Everton packs a good offensive punch shown in their previous games most recently against L. Orient defeating them 5-0 and their opening match 3-1 against Aston Villa (A).Marouane Fellaini currently leads the team with 2 goals. There are high expectations from their fans this year at worse they are expecting at least a 6th place finish and that’s where they are today.

Swansea City vs Everton Predictions: 2-1

This is an important match for both squads especially for Everton . Everton needs this to advance and keep up with the league leaders. Unfortunately, Swansea City is playing at home and they to will look to advanced in their own right. It will definitely be a fight but, Swansea City will prevail with a close home win.
