Prediction League Season 2023-24

Here we go again. Joe has yet to provide his forecasts.

 

Birmingham 2 - 0 Millwall
Sunderland 0 - 2 Southampton
Swansea 2 - 1 Bristol City
Coventry 2 - 0Watford
Ipswich 3- 1 Cardiff
Leeds 2 - 0 Sheff Wed
Leicester 3 - 0 Hull JOKER
Middlesbrough 2 - 2 QPR
Plymouth 2 - 0 Blackburn 33
Rotherham 0 - 2 Norwich
Stoke 1 - 1 Preston
WBA 2 - 1 Huddersfield

 

We have exceptionally low scores even by my standards.

Who'd have predicted Sunderland to beat Southampton? Well, Lyndhurst did to be fair, but not by 5-0. Who'd have predicted Rotherham to beat Norwich? No-one. If this wasn't an Argyle board (although all are welcome), how many would have put us down to beat Blackburn, let alone 3-0?



Lyndhurst topped the match scores with a perfect 6 on the Super Match and Plym was close behind with an exact 1-1 prediction of Birmingham v Millwall. I remained consistent with a single figure score which oddly put me in third place this week.

We had four goal time predictions in the 20-30 range, from Sensible on 23 to Joe on 33. Within that, I was on 27 and Musty on 28. The BBC Sports site is our bible for fixtures but I've also checked the Argyle website and Sky Sports. All three give it at 27 minutes, so I get an unusual 5 points for a spot-on and well researched wild guess.

Lyndhurst regained top spot with a strong performance in a weird week and Plym gained a place too.


We're now in the international break so there are no matches until Friday 15th September, when the Championship resumes. A date for your diaries!

 

It is amazing how little we get right....if you where trying to get only 1 or 2 points I bet we would all find it hard.

Maybe doing your prediction...and then reversing it might bring better rewards.

Getting a point out of QPR amazed me...no one else was so foolish ?

 

You were the only one to have it down as an away win. Most put it down for a draw

That’s the trouble forecasting a draw. One goal either way and it’s not a draw anymore whereas you can predict a 4-1 win and 5-1 or 4-2 still gets you a point.

 

"One goal either way and it's not a draw".....I must remember that notDistant.....a good tip.

 

I mean that the risks of getting nul pointes from predicting a draw seem higher than a win, certainly if you are deploying a precious joker!

 

I looked last night in my hazed state and I knew I had excelled myself this week. I'm just glad I don't bet anymore.

Blimey, I’d better get on with this. Thank you for early submissions.

If I hadn’t picked Swansea v Bristol City as Super Match recently, I might have gone with the all Welsh clash in Cardiff this time around. I’ll definitely do the reverse fixture when it crops up.

However, there’s another stand out game in this week’s schedule. I did think about adding one-off competitions for “Number of Fans Arrested” or perhaps “Most Objectionable, Obscene or Downright Illegal Chant” but they’re a bit difficult to score. So we’ll just go with Millwall v Leeds United as Super Match in the ordinary way.

 

Just imagine a three way match between Sunderland v Leeds v Millwall......as a spectator I doubt if you could get insurance protection to watch that one.
