Football predictions can be difficult

<h1>Football predictions can be difficult</h1>Author: <a title="Dave Thurston" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/dave-thurston/277711.htm">Dave Thurston</a> Predicting football scores is a very tricky business. There aren't many sports where the under-dog can actually manage to beat the favourites on any given day. Take rugby, or tennis, you'd normal predict the favourite to win, and you'd be correct on most occasions. With football scores it's different. This season has seen some of the most unpredictable football scores for some time. New-comers promoted from the Championship into the Premier League had started the season well, particularly in home matches. These results have made people's predictions miles away from the actual final scores. Last weekend's football results threw up an average of 4 goals per Premier League match, coupled with more sendings-off then any usual weekend the outcomes have become harder to predict. This of course makes the game so much more interesting for the fans. With the introduction of new rules in football in the last few years, alongside new technology in the footballs, the players boots, and of course the players becoming more athletic, football has become a fantastic sport to follow, and becomes more exciting each season. However, top clubs in Europe are now paying more and more money for players, and this has become a problem for the smaller clubs, who just can't compete in the finances of modern football. Predicting whether small clubs are able to compete any longer is difficult, and with the country suffering financially, clubs are feeling the pinch. In the last few seasons, we've seen some English clubs suffering bad financial losses, and even some of England's biggest clubs are still making losses. Predicting whether your team can compete in the top flight of English football is one think, but you can't predict if your football club is making a healthy profit too. Football managers are finding things difficult too, the game is all about getting results and winning football matches. Top football managers may of done a very good job last season, but poor results this season and could you predict whether they'll be in a job for long ?

We're a nation of football experts, or so we think. Every single football fan in the country has an opinion on their football team, and all the players. Infact every football fan has an opinion of every club in the country, and everyone thinks they can predict the final scores of football matches. But is it really that easy ?
