I don't know about you, but that 2-1 win at Derby County has given me a lift, even at my ancient age. Indeed, when I was walking down the road yesterday, a neighbour asked me if I wanted a lift. "A 2-0 win at Derby would be nice", I replied, but, hey, I have happily settled for the 2-1 result. Of course, this means that we can all predict a win at Northampton on Saturday. "Cobblers", some might say, while others will be reminding us that "this is Charlton". Personally, I rarely predict Charlton games in the Prediction League, except when we had a rather winnable home FA Cup tie against a team from South East London. I am still learning.
So, we come to Week 28 of the Prediction League. It's also the Quarter Final Stage of the three Cups. Let's give the eight competing in the Prediction Knock-Out Cup a shout rather than embarrassing the competitors (including me) in the Johnstone Paint Prediction Cup and EFL Pizza Prediction Cup. They are Rudders22 (3) [Prem] v. 56yearsofdreams (35) [Champ], lindos480 (24) [Champ] v. WestSussexAddick (4) [Prem], paulie8290 (55) [Lg1] v. croydonaddick (93) and
Chippycafc (2) [Prem] v. Chicken_Skins (64) [Lg1]. Good luck to all eight.
There's the usual mix of games to pick from. If you think it's not nice to lose, then maybe you should look no further than Toulouse v Nice. Pick your favoured three while I focus my attention all week on an EFL Pizza Prediction Cup tie.
