2 points to remind you all:

1) In the case of a tie in points and margins, the predictor who finished higher in the table would go through to the final.
2) Any prediction is for the 80 minute result ONLY. If anyone wants to predict a draw for either game, then the usual rules would apply (5 points for a correct prediction).

Please PM your predictions to me before kickoff of the first game (Thursday at 8pm)

Good luck

Ooh, I get to clubcall...

I chose... Catalans. Oh, wait!

To repeat the discussion from another thread, do you just pick the lowest ranked competitor available, or a higher-ranked option that you feel more equipped to beat with what you have available..?

There is some concern that having a week off, will then affect the routine and will forget to submit the week after!

Good luck all anyway.

Tonight's result means that with Steamy and BRK making the same prediction for tomorrow's game, Steamy will make it through to next week.

And if my calculations are correct, the only result that would put Tvoc through would be a Huddersfield win by 13 (due to the fact that a tie in points and margin means the higher placed person in the regular league table advances through to next week).

I will confirm the results officially after tomorrow night's game though.

Yup. Still lasted a week longer than those other 6th place finishers this season.

Oh. I was hoping for a Tvoc head-to-head, given the chance...
