2014-2015 Premier League Predictions: Week 13 (Part 3)

Southampton vs. Manchester City

Match Date: 29 November 2014 (local time)

Venue: St. Mary’s Stadium

Southampton

Southampton is currently under fire after allowing Aston Villa to force them into a stalemate last week. Such result lessened their chances of outlasting an inspired Manchester City. Likewise, it has prevented them from being a top pick of sports betting sites.

Nevertheless, despite the criticisms, Southampton has shown a massive display of strength at home. They have maintained 5 clean sheets out of the 6 matches that transpired in  St. Mary’s Stadium and they will most likely take advantage of this scenario when they face the current title holder.

Manchester City

Beating Bayern Munich and reigniting their Champions League hopes inspire City to continue their winning ways and successfully defend their title.

Aware of Southampton’s strength, expect City to pull off a massive offensive and defensive strategy to avoid slipping away from the Premier League elite.

Prediction

Southampton 1-2 Manchester City

West Ham vs. Newcastle United

Match Date: 29 November 2014 (local time

Venue: Boleyn Ground

West Ham

West Ham experienced its first taste of defeat in its last 6 matches into the hands of Everton. Considering how disappointing the said result was, there’s a huge possibility for the squad to return to its previous attacking style and make an impression at home. The upcoming match will not be an easy one, but rest assured that they’re ready to pull off a good fight.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United’s unbeaten run will be the squad’s main weapon in countering their aggressive host. They have kept a clean sheet in its last 3 matches and they will most likely try to extend it in an attempt to prevent a drop in points.

Prediction

West Ham 1-0 Newcastle United
