Last week,
@IdleHans decided to predict both the usual predictions and the outcome of three Prediction Cup fixtures. On the evidence of these efforts, predicting English league fixtures is a lot easier than predicting how participants will fare in the Prediction Cup - four points for the usual prediction but nil points, I am afraid, for the Prediction Cup predictions!
I did plan to have a slightly changed format for week 20 with just three games to choose from for everyone, but the risk of Covid postponements is and bad weather could have made that chaotic, so it's business as usual with seven games from each of the top three divisions on the coupon plus a guest fixture from Scotland. Looking at the League tables, it's a good time to surge up the tables. For example, a mere five points separate the middle of the Championship table and the middle of League Two. You can change from being a Leyton Orient to a Millwall (ahem) with three good predictions.
There are a handful of replays in the Prediction Cups, which appear on the next post.
Last week's League results, tables and Cup results did not get pinned to the top of the CL Forum, so if you missed them, use this link.And so, as usual just pick the three games which are dead certs to be right.....
