2014-2015 Premier League Predictions: Week 22 (Part 4)
Newcastle United vs. Southampton
Match Date: 17 December 2014 (local time)
Venue: St. James’ Park
The story so far
Newcastle United’s search for a new manager has been causing a toll on the club’s performance. Just recently, the Magpies experienced a major defeat under Chelsea’s hands. It marked their 4th loss in their last 6 matches and certainly, this has slowly pushed them into the mid-table. Should improvements fail to show, the Magpies could find themselves drawing near the relegation zone.
The demise that Newcastle currently experiences is music to Southampton’s ears. The Saints impressive defence enabled them to outrank the perennial sports betting favorite, Manchester United. Needless to say, they will be capitalizing on the said win to secure crucial points.
Prediction
Newcastle United 0-1 Southampton
Â
West Ham United vs. Hull
Match Date: 18 December 2014 (local time)
Venue: Boleyn Ground
The story so far
West Ham United’s stalemate against Swansea prevented them from a possible slip in the league table. It was their second consecutive draw, following the 2-match loss that they previously experienced.
West Ham has only won once in their last 6 matches. Nevertheless, their strong run during the season’s first half explains why their still within the top-flight league’s top 10.
In the meantime, Hull is in big trouble after experiencing a narrow defeat to West Bromwich Albion. The club has already hit the relegation zone and has been unsuccessful in its last 9 away matches. Considering the fact that they will be on another away game, Hull City is compelled to address their poor away performance soon or they might find it difficult to survive the current season.
Prediction
West Ham United 1-0 Hull
