Paddy’s picks: January 2020
A preview to the weekend’s sporting events.
Starting with the Premier league and with runaway league leaders Liverpool, travelling to take on Spurs at White Hart Lane. Spurs are struggling at the moment and been without Kane I think The Pool will win by 2 clear goals.
Results: This match took place on Saturday the 11th of January 2020 at 17:30pm and the result was 1 nil to Liverpool
With Man United and Chelsea both at home and playing teams that are in the bottom half of the league they should both win comfortably at home.
Results: They both played at 15:00pm on Saturday the 11th of January 2020 and United won their match 4 nil where as Chelsea only won their match 3 nil
Man, City travel to Villa Park to take on relegation threatened Aston Villa. City are getting back to winning ways lately I think that they will win the match by 3 clear goals.
Results: This match took place on Sunday the 12th of January 2020 at 16:00pm and Man city won the match by 6 goals to 1
Leicester have a tricky match at home taking on the Saints and with Danny Ings flying high at the moment, The Foxes will have to be at their best if they’re going to win the match but I think that this match will be a score draw.
Results: This match took place on Saturday the 11th of January 2020 at 15:00pm and Southampton won the match by 2 goals to 1.
Aarteta’s Arsenal travel to Selhurst Park to take on Hodgson’s Palace. Arsenal starting to play well under Arteta and Palace in bit of a lull at the moment I think that Arsenal will go there and win the match.
Results: This match took place on Saturday the 11th of January 2020 at 12:45pm and the match ended in a draw
In the Championship the top 2 have both have tricky matches this weekend with west Brom travelling to the Valley to take on Charlton. Charlton are not doing bad at the moment it could be a tough match for the Baggies but with the Baggies having some great strikers that could win the match for them. I think that West Brom will win the match by the odd goal.
Results: This match took place on Saturday the 11th of January at 15:00pm and the match ended in a draw
Last time Gary Monk brought a team to Elland Road he outclassed Leeds and his team won the match. I think he will do it again with Sheffield Wednesday because Leeds have nobody that can score a goal for them.
Results: This match took place on Saturday the 11th of January at 15:00pm and Sheffield Wednesday won the match 2 nil
To Rugby next with the Champions cup on this weekend and with Leinster already qualifying to the next round. I still think that they will steam roll the opposition as normal this weekend which is Lyon to keep their unbeaten record in tack.
Results: This match took place on Saturday the 11th of January 2020 at 13:00pm and Leinster won the match by 42 to 14
Munster face a daunting trip to France this weekend as they face Racing in France, with Munster missing a few players and Racing very good team at home I think that Munster could get a hammering this weekend.
Results: This match took place on Sunday the 12th of January 2020 at 15:00pm and it ended in a 39 to 22 win for racing
Connacht face a do or die test this weekend as they face Toulouse in Galway, this will be a close encounter but with Connacht having home advantage and the showgrounds been a forteris that could get them over the line to win the game.
Results: The match took place on Saturday the 11th of January at 17:30pm and Toulouse won the match by 21 points to 7
Ulster also travel to France to take on Clermont but with Ulster on a good run at the moment I think that could get them a draw in the match, that’s the best that they can hope for because Clermont are very good at home.
Results: The match took place on Saturday the 11th of January at 15:30pm and Clermont won the match by 29 points to 13
To golf next the European tour stopping off in South Africa this week I think the winner will come from the locals and with Oosthuizen doing well in it after the first round I think that he will go on to win it because his golf swing is the best in the game when he’s on his A game.
Results: The event took place in South Africa and the tournament was on from the 9th of January and finished on the 12th of January and Brandon Grace won the event with a great final round
Were as on the PGA tour they are playing in Hawaii again this week and it would be great if Brandon Steele could win the event because he has been around for years trying to win an event so it would be great for the game if he could win a tournament.
Results: As played in Hawaii and the tournament took place from the 9th January and took place until the 12th of January Justin Thomas won the event
