    Formerly the Ursus Family Serie A Prediction Competition 2019-20

    I hope ursus won’t mind me appropriating the name of his old threads, and resurrecting them. I have fond memories of participating in the last iteration in my early days of OTF. I did OK. I’m a round late, but anyway.

    Same rules as the original (I think):

    Home win = 1
    Draw = X
    Away win = 2

    Here are Sunday’s:

    Lazio v Roma*
    Atalanta v Torino
    Lecce v Verona
    Sassuolo v Sampdoria*
    Udinese v Parma

    *predict scores.

      No problem at all

      We picked five matches (largely to avoid weird kickoffs) and solicited score predictions for two of them. Getting the score right got one a total of three points, correct results were worth one point, thereby making the maximum number of points available each "match day" nine.

                Bump, as we’ll need more than four to make it worthwhile.

                      Go on, then. I'll definitely forget about this before the next round of games, though. Also I don't know anything about Italian football.

                      Lazio 2-2 Roma X
                      Atalanta v Torino 1

                        You think I do? Everything I know about Serie A I learn from here and GFW.

                          I've been running a predictions contest on another board for 6 or 7 years and I can confirm that the success rate among those people who know much more about football than I do is no more accurate when forecasting PL matches than when guessing results in the Swedish league.

                            Sunday's results:

                            Antepli Ejderha 3
                            ad hoc 1
                            Sam 1
                            Sits 1
                            Sporting 0
                            ursus arctos 0

                            A pretty inauspicious start for all bar AE whose correct score for the Rome derby gives him an early lead. Feel free to check the scores but it seems nobody picked more than one result.
