Former Premier League star Dimitar Berbatov has provided his predictions for the upcoming Premier League matches in an exclusive preview for Metro.co.uk. With an action-packed weekend ahead, Berbatov gives his insights on the key fixtures and shares his score predictions.
Everton vs Tottenham: Berbatov expects a draw in this match. Everton’s position will be tough if they lose, but Spurs have been performing well recently, securing another win in midweek.
Brighton vs Crystal Palace: Berbatov believes Brighton will come out on top in this clash. Playing at home, Brighton will be looking to bounce back and Crystal Palace can sometimes be easy to play against.
Newcastle vs Luton: Both teams had impressive performances in the week, but Berbatov predicts a victory for Newcastle. He credits both managers for their fantastic work but expects Newcastle to get the job done.
Burnley vs Fulham: Burnley still have a chance to save themselves, and Berbatov thinks they need to start picking up points at home. He predicts a draw in this match.
Sheffield United vs Aston Villa: Berbatov warns that Sheffield United can give any team a fight and expects a draw in this match. Villa’s proud home record came to an end against Newcastle, and Sheffield United have shown improvement recently.
Man United vs West Ham: Berbatov acknowledges that David Moyes will be returning to Old Trafford where things did not go well for him. However, he believes that Man United needs to secure a win, especially at home, and predicts a 3-1 victory for them.
Chelsea vs Wolves: Chelsea’s inconsistency is a factor in this match, but Berbatov thinks they have a good opportunity to win it at home. He expects a 1-0 victory for Chelsea.
Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest: Berbatov finds this match tough to call and predicts a draw. Forest has improved under their new manager, but they have been conceding too many goals.
Arsenal vs Liverpool: The biggest game of the weekend, according to Berbatov, could have a major impact on the title race. He believes both teams are evenly matched and predicts an entertaining draw with a scoreline of 2-2.
Brentford vs Man City: While Brentford can surprise teams, Berbatov does not think City will lose. With the return of De Bruyne and Haaland, he expects City to secure a 2-0 victory.
With these predictions in mind, football fans can look forward to an exciting weekend of Premier League action. Whether Berbatov’s predictions come true or not, one thing is for sure – the matches are bound to be full of drama, skill, and excitement.
