For the superstitious, it's the 13th week of the Prediction League. For those hovering around the National League South, it's an important week as this is the last week which counts to qualification for the much-prized Prediction Knock Out Cup. Everyone who is in 14th place of the National League South or higher gains entry to the Cup and, of course, the chance to play at Wembley. Where there is a tie on points at the cut-off point, the competitor(s) scoring highest in the most recent week will be deemed to qualify. This is, of course, fairer than the reverse alphabetical order sort that is used usually. For those new to the League, the Cup uses the same predictions as usual. The difference is that you will be drawn against another competitor with the higher scorer proceeding to the next round. The draw will be live online on Sunday 27th December at 4pm. For losers in the 1st Round, there is the less glamorous Johnstones Paint Prediction Cup, but more of this later along with the full rules of the competition.
A quick word about the Prediction League over Christmas. The competition will take place over the weekends of 26/27/28 December and 1/2/3/4 January but not for any midweek games. Fixtures will be posted a day earlier than usual.

So, try your luck at this week's games. As usual, just pick any three. Good luck.
