Halftime with Hambone

Premier League Matchday 3

Fulham to win over Ipswich – I just think the Tractor Boys are in over their head. Dead last in player wages and barely over half of Southampton with the 19th highest wages. This side was in League One 15 months ago. Godspeed Jack Clarke.

Morgan Rogers to score a goal – Unai Emery gushed harder than the Steamboat Geyser when speaking about Rogers Saturday morning. This is the breakout year of Morgan Rogers similar to Cole Palmer last year.

EFL Championship Matchday 4

Leeds to win over Hull – it’s overdue and Leeds’ performances thus far have been sufficient. Give me Brendan Aaronson to score or assist as well.

Stoke City/Plymouth Over 2.5 goals – Stoke could hit this themselves. Look out for Liverpool loanee Lewis Koumas to score. The kid is on fire for the Potters. Although I am now seeing Lynden Gooch is on the bench. I hope Argyle win now.

Sunderland to keep a clean sheet at Portsmouth – I do not like Fratton Park. I don’t know what’s in the water on the south coast. I do know that Sunderland has been fantastic defensively so far. Don’t mind a little sprinkle on Under 0.5 total goals first half and full match.

League One Matchday 4

Stockport County to win over Mansfield – Going to ride this hot hand until they lose, even if there is no such thing as a ‘hot hand’. Stockport signed Oliver Norwood from the Premier League and has been on the same path but performing better than Wrexham. Let’s see how long it lasts. Louie Barry to score.

Stevenage to keep a clean sheet vs. Lincoln – Bonus pick is a 0-0 final score. I don’t know why, but this Stevenage side seems to be very keen on preventing goals. Their xGA last year was among the best in League One and they’ve kept two clean sheets in three matches so far.
