Formerly the Ursus Family Serie A Prediction Competition 2019-20

[Kevin S]

Pisa v Frosinone 1-2
Cittadella v Virtus Entella 2
Pordenone Calcio v Cremonese X
SS Juve Stabia v Cosenza 1-0
Spezia v Salernitana 2

[Sits]

Latest scores:

A bonus on SS Juve v Cosenza gives Kevin S 4, top score for the week. Clearly this is sufficient to give him the lead.

Kevin S 4* 37
Antepli Ejderha: 0 36
Sporting: 3 36
ursus arctos 1 30
Sits 1 30
ad hoc: d 27
steviecowden: d 2
Sam: d 1

I’m sure you’ll all be disappointed to learn that we’re unlikely to get a chance for another foray outside the top tier.

[Kevin S]

It was all a bit of a wild stabia in the dark, but thanks.

Final bump, three yet to tip.

Milan v Sampdoria x
Atalanta v Parma x
SPAL v Verona x
Lecce v Udinese 1-1
Roma v Torino 2-1

[Sits]

So with two missing out, did anyone capitalise? The answer is yes and no:
Yes - Kevin S and Sporting both bagged a bonus on the Lecce game and scored 4;
No - ad hoc and I scored a sorry 1 each.

Kevin S 4* 41
Sporting 4* 40
Antepli Ejderha: d 36
Sits 1 31
ursus arctos d 30
ad hoc: 1 28
steviecowden: d 2
Sam: d 1

With a possible nine points per week, that's where some of us need to be aiming.

[Sits]

I would pick a date but they'll either change them, I'll get it wrong, or both.

So, next weekend:

Cagliari v Milan*
Lazio v Napoli
Inter v Atalanta
Torino v Bologna*
Sampdoria v Brescia

[Sits]

Quick and dirty, let's see if that helps:

Cagliari 1-0 Milan*
Lazio v Napoli 1
Inter v Atalanta 1
Torino 1-0 Bologna*
Sampdoria v Brescia 1

[Antepli Ejderha]

Cagliari v Milan 1-2
Lazio v Napoli ×

Torino v Bologna1-1
Sampdoria v Brescia ×

[Kevin S]

[ad hoc]

My utter rubbishness here means I'm rapidly losing my motivation with this, but will stick with it out of a sense of duty

Cagliari v Milan 2-1
Lazio v Napoli 1
Inter v Atalanta 1
Torino v Bologna 1-2
Sampdoria v Brescia x

[Sits]

Thanks, but please don’t feel obliged if it’s not fun. You’re hardly an island of rubbishness, mind.

[Sits]

I managed a desperately needed bonus on the Torino result and top score with 5. Kevin S holds his 2 point lead on Sporting:

Kevin S 2 43
Sporting 2 42
Antepli Ejderha: 1 37
Sits 5* 36
ursus arctos 3 33
ad hoc: 1 29
steviecowden: d 2
Sam: d 1

[ad hoc]

OK I'm going to try completely random next week. Statistically I should get more than my standard 1 point that way

[Sits]

January 19th (with luck):

Milan v Udinese*
Bologna v Roma
Brescia v Cagliari
Genoa v Roma
Juventus v Parma*

[ad hoc]

Ok as promised I'm going with the random number generator at this site http://numbergenerator.org/randomnumbergenerator

Milan v Udinese* 2-2
Bologna v Roma 1
Brescia v Cagliari 2
Genoa v Roma 1
Juventus v Parma* 2-1

(for the scores generated random numbers between 0 and 3)
