Premier League Predictions Week 12 – Gurgler v US Mid Term Elections

We have our Premier League Predictions Week 12 ready, and with the US Mid Term Elections in the news we are using those results as our opponent tips this weekend.

Every week we offer up tips, preview and an alternative view on the Premier League that we hope you enjoy.

Onwards to our Premier League Predictions Week 12. It’s very much like BBC’s Lawro vs Somebody preview, but better. Arguably. 

Premier League Predictions Week 12 – Gurgler v US Mid Term Elections

Opponent Tips Background: It has been a while since we did a reasonably absurd method of tipping an EPL winner, but at least it is current in the news.

With the US Mid Term Elections providing news around the world, we have fashioned tips out of the results.

First of all we needed an American equivalent of each EPL side,. We found most of them in the USA, but where there was more than one, we took the one with the biggest population, and if we couldn’t find an exact place, we drew a long bow to find one. Notes on those with the tips.

We then compare the results of the state that each team is in for the Governor elections, as they are usually the most interesting and one per state. The higher the % of the Vote for the winner, that state/EPL side gets the tip for Premier League Predictions Week 12. 

But first, our Premier League Predictions. A solid 6/10 last week. More to come this week.

Premier League Predictions Week 12 Quick Mini Preview

GAME BY GAME PREVIEW IN 50 WORDS OR SO.

CARDIFF v BRIGHTON

Cardiff did the right thing last weekend by refusing to beat Leicester in their emotional time, but they surely won’t be as welcoming to Brighton this weekend. Bit of a dud game to have first up this weekend, with Cardiff not very good at home, and Brighton fr less effective away. The difference probably will be Glenn Murray.

HUDDERSFIELD v WEST HAM

Huddersfield have as many wins as goals at home after they ensured Fulham take the title of worst current EPL side off them on Monday night. West Ham are way too unpredictable to guess what’s coming next, but the win against Burnley last weekend was impressive enough and we love Marko Arnautovic.

LEICESTER v BURNLEY

A big week for Leicester after their emotional win at Cardiff and trip to Thailand to pay their respects to the owner who brought so much joy to their club. Another big occasion awaits, as this will be the first home game since the terrible helicopter accidents claimed those lives. Burnley probably won’t spoil the occasion based their four losses from their last five on the road.

NEWCASTLE v BOURNEMOUTH

Newcastle got their first win on the weekend, joining the growing list of five teams on one win after 11 matches. Bournemouth on the other hand could barely be more impressive this season, although somehow they lost to Manchester Utd. They should have been well clear at half time, but Newcastle don’t have the same resources to launch a second half onslaught.

SOUTHAMPTON v WATFORD

Southampton were $8 outsiders at the start of the season for relegation, but they look every bit a relegation candidate at the moment. That is until Mark Hughes is finally found out to be an overrated manager and they bring in the usual firefighters. Watford’s loss at Newcastle was a bit of a surprise last weekend, an indication of their progress this season. Still eight place and halfway to safety (19pts) is a good place to be in. As will St Mary’s be when they turn over the Saints.

CRYSTAL PALACE v SPURS

Crystal Palace haven’t been too bad on their four game horror run – a draw against Arsenal and a decent performance in a loss at Chelsea last weekend. Good performances aside, they haven’t won in six games, and face Spurs on the back of a great Champions League win. And Spurs have the league’s best away record W6 L1.

LIVERPOOL v FULHAM

It doesn’t get much worse for Fulham. Dead last, lose to Huddersfield, having the worst defensive record in the league, and lost five in a row. So facing Liverpool at Anfield, and on the back of a Champions League loss against Red Star Belgrade could quite possibly the worst possible match. Will probably be the first manager casualty of the season.

CHELSEA v EVERTON

Chelsea got the job done last weekend against Crystal Palace, and remain without a loss so far this season, and Morata scored twice last weekend. Everton have won four of their last five and are in the top 6 on recent form. However their record on the road this season is nowhere near enough to trouble Chelsea. Not for all of the Richarlissons in the world.

ARSENAL v WOLVES

Both of these teams didn’t win last weekend and probably deserved more. Arsenal should be happy that their 1-1 draw showed they are capable of a top four finish and beyond. Wolves did very well against Spurs, but the now three straight losses in a row is a worry.

MANCHESTER CITY v MANCHESTER UTD

A match to truly determine the gap between the two sides in Manchester. City are playing at another level, and that’s just from the rest of the top five, not including struggling Manchester United. United tend to play better when they are down a few goals early. They may just get that opportunity to be behind early with the Manchester City juggernaut.
