CRYSTAL PALACE 2-4-05 PREDICTION
Never fear, The Bear is here! Woosh. The Bear is back from the promised land and is ready to flex his prediction muscles once again!
The Bear witnessed a lacklustre smog side get comprehensively beaten by Southampton a fortnight ago, and as the plummet to mid table obscurity gains pace, it's now or never for the smogs to start collecting points.
Europe looks a far cry from that of before Christmas.
So, after a two week break from Premiership 'entertainment', the smogs have to travel down south to play another relegation candidate- Crystal Palace. The Bear can't wait.
The Bear hears apparently good news on the injury front mind. Viduka, Boateng, Morrison, Ehiogu are all close to returning, some even are suggesting they will make the weekend game. The bear doubts it. There's still another 24 hours for them to get injured yet!.
This match has all the potential hallmarks of a 'typical Boro' performance! The Bear already believes that the majority of smogs players are on wind down for their summer break, and with the Palace team needing to scrap for every point, the smogs look destined to be outfought and outbattled by a team that just wants it more!
The Bear doesn't believe this is the main concern though. Regardless of whether Boateng, Viduka, Ehiogu etc etc are back, Palace still have players with pace - oh dear.
There's two things the smogs are unable to play against, and they are players with height and players with pace. The Bear sees Palace as having at least one of these - and so expect the smogs to certainly concede one goal tomorrow.
With the potential for injured players to return, the Bear has noticed that optimism is high. However, The Bear believes it is more likely to be a disjointed team performance which tails off in the second half due to fatigue, and not the return to form that many crave. Ultimately, The Bear cannot see any other score than a 1-0 smog defeat.
The Bear has an unrivalled prediction success rate, and let us not forget, it was The Bear who could see without the red tints at Christmas time, when he predicted the inevitablity of a mid table plunge.
It's time to put some serious money on The Bear, forget the football, and prepare for your family holidays at Redcar beach.
TFB. Team Freedom Bear. Gracious as ever.
