City, State/Country – Football lovers, gather here as we dive into the weekend’s exciting Premier League matchups! This week, we dey here to predict the goal drought wey dey follow this season. If you don notice, goals no be dem dey show face this season like dem dey use vex come waka pass. After 100 matches, records don show say this season fit be the lowest-scoring one since 2017-18.
Last season, average goals per game don drop to 2.93, and this season we dey land at a cringe-worthy 2.68! Wetin happen? E be like say teams don decide to start dey play like dem no wan lose. No fewer than seven teams, include Aston Villa and Newcastle United, dey strike goal like one goal per game or even less.
For week four alone, small 19 goals don score for 10 games. If we go dey follow the trend for this weekend, make your mind ready for tight matchups! I don predict three 1-0 wins, three 1-1 draws, and three 2-0 wins. Abeg, no be only Manchester City and Liverpool wey go fire their engines with attacking display on Sunday.
Wanna know the lowest-scoring matchday for Premier League history? Dat one happened in November 2001, when only 10 goals don enter across 10 matches. Four games end as 0-0, plus four more as 1-0, join one 1-1 and we still get Arsenal wey win 3-1 against Manchester United for Highbury. If that one no make you laugh, I no know wetin go make you laugh.
Meanwhile, e get one guest subscriber for predictions this week wey come all the way from Hoboken, New Jersey. His name na Weston, and na Manchester City fan he be. If City or Liverpool lose dis match, them go dey far behind Arsenal wey dey keep clean sheet like dem don discover water purifier for league matter. You fit imagine Erling Haaland wey be like cyborg last week, as e score two against Bournemouth. But Liverpool don beat City handily last season, so e go be high-stakes match.
As e be now, City don beat Liverpool just once from di last eight meetings, last wey dem meet na when Liverpool dey low last year for April. Dem still dey risk am, but make we see wetin go happen. Some say City fit score 2-1 win; others dey predict 2-2 draw. No matter how dem do am, you fit sure say fans go gather around their screens, no time to waste!
Now, shift your focus to some other games wey dey come. Tottenham dey meet Manchester United for early kickoff, Everton dey face Fulham, and Chelsea dey clash with Wolves. Arsenal dey face Sunderland, and di game dey remind fans of the pressure wey dey on many managers dis season. Each game fit change di mood of fans, from excitement to bitter beers!
FYI, Arsenal don win their last 10 matches wey dem play, keeping clean sheets for nine of dem. If Arsenal fit maintain dis form, no go dey surprise if dem turn Sunderland to ‘almost’ solid wall.
For those wey dey pick betting lines, sharp your eyes for tight margins, and keep your cash close to heart. As the league dey hot, so Internet streaming dey pop off; with ESPN bringing you all the action across Caribbean screens. So gather your padi, pop the palm wine, and let the games begin this weekend!
