SIX more games and the current Premier League season reaches its half-way point.
Although the usual suspects (Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United) sit pretty on top of the league table, the rest of the teams are jostling for position like no other season before.
Win two games in a row, your team jolts up the table. Similarly, lose two games back-to-back, and they drop down the table faster than you can say Sotirios Kyrgiakos' name - something Liverpool fans can attest to.
Predicting the outcomes of football games I suspect is part of our allure to the "Beautiful Game".
Who will win, lose, and why, is often a favourite topic of conversation among friends, family and even people you've just met.
And if you're like my in-laws, you'll probably put your money where your mouth is and put a small wager on the game.
Win, lose or draw
Frankly, after Chelsea's shock 3-0 lost to Sunderland last weekend at Stamford Bridge, predicting results is like predicting what the winning 4-D numbers will be.
Or is it?
Many believe predicting a game's outcome is more science than luck.
'So-called' expert pundits in the media often point to a statistic of this, or that, to back up their call.
Being part of the game
Better late than never, I say. From Friday (Nov 19), the ST Online team will weigh in on the predictions game.
We will preview the weekend's top matches. Our previews are accompanied with the most comprehensive statistics that you can find anywhere, courtesy of Barclays Premier League.
From team and managerial head-to-head records, to what their chances of back-to-back wins (or losses) are, you will find all the stats you need to make your own "informed" prediction.
What's more, we will also start blogging more often on all things football.
Read Ernest Luis' and Bryan Huang's pieces on why they think either Tottenham or Arsenal will win the passion-filled North London derby on Saturday night (Nov 20).
With our previews and blogs before every weekend, we hope you will join us and share your own views and predictions. The Premier League, I'm sure, promises many more twists-and-turns for the rest of the season.
Enjoy the football. And good luck.
