Champions League Football Predictions 1st & 2nd October 2013

Okay, so this is my first go at Champions League group matches. It's done in the same way as I usually do for domestic leagues, however, a weighting is applied to that league depending on the quality. So for example, Celtic are performing well in the Scottish Premier League but the Spanish league has a much higher weighting, which gives them the predicted convincing away win.

Still a bit under trial this so we'll see how it goes. Group G sees Atletico Madrid visit Porto and the Spanish side must be brimming with confidence after beating Real Madrid away at the weekend, as forecast by the Predictor (see last weekend's predictions). Chelsea take a trip to Steaua Bucharest but the Predictor has returned a home win due to Romanian team's league form - be interesting to see how this one pans out.  A convincing home win is also seen for last season's beaten finalist, Borussia Dortmund whilst in form Arsenal are looking at a tough tie against equally in form, Napoli.

These are purely just Tuesday's matches so check back here tomorrow for Wednesday's games.

Football Predictions weekend commencing 27th September 2013

Well, the weekend kicks off with a ripper of a tie - dubbed the 'Master versus the Apprentice' by a certain media outlet - Chelsea take a visit to their London rivals, Tottenham. Historically, Spurs have struggled against Chelsea but have got points off them home and away in recent seasons. Can the 'new look' Spurs side overcome Jose Mourinho's Blues? Predictor says a marginal home win.  Manchester City are bang in form after the demolition of their red neighbours last weekend and they travel to Aston Villa with their tails high. At this point in time, if I had to put any money on anyone winning the title this season it would be Manchester City, although it's still early days. Nonetheless, it's not as comfortable as you might think with just a marginal away win predicted. Can Villa provide an upset?
 
Manchester United on the other hand must have their tail between their legs, although they're probably buoyed a little from beating Liverpool in the league cup midweek. Moyes is certainty under pressure, however, United are traditionally slow starters to a Premier League campaign. There does seem a concern amongst United supporters though and the squad does appear weaker than squads of the past, especially when van Persie is missing. West Brom are decent side when they click but even an off-form Manchester United at home should be able to do the business - home win. Arsenal are currently topping the table in these early stages and their away from has been exceptional, winning 11 away competitive matches in a row, if you include their penalty shoot out win mid week. They face a Swansea side who are always difficult to beat at home but you can't ignore Arsenal's away form. Convincing away win is forecast.
 
Sunderland will be looking to bounce back after the sacking of their manager, Paulo di Canio, last weekend but they face a Liverpool side with the return of Suarez to league action. Sunderland won their league cup tie during the week which should have given them a boost but they've not won in the league this season and sit bottom. Liverpool are deemed to be too strong and Liverpool look to have a comfortable win.  The Monday match see Everton host Newcastle at St James' Park with the Toffees having the only unbeaten record in the league.  Everton will probably think they have a chance of knocking on the top four this season, and why not?  This appears like it's going to be the most open season in years and this will be a great opportunity to put themselves amongst the big boys.  Newcastle haven't had the best of starts and losing to Hull City last weekend sees them loitering in 12th place.  Everton should be too strong and a home win is predicted.
