U'sual Champions League - Round of 16 predictions 16:59 - Dec 31 with 5638 viewswessex_exile

13/03/2018

14/03/2018

Barcelona v Chelsea

I will bump this nearer the time, but you are free to post some or all of your predictions at your leisure - deadline is kick-off for each game, which I understand are all scheduled to be 1945. A reminder that you can only exact match one prediction with either of your fellow group members during this stage of the competition, and top two based on points scored and number of spot-ons goes through. Should a tie-break be needed, it will be the attendance at the next U's match, which is currently scheduled to be U's v Yeovil at Fortress WHCS, on Saturday 17th March 2018.

Good luck everyone!

Cheers Gate16. Unfortunately your first three all match with Gerry. I can take the FC Basel 1 Man City 2 prediction, Juventus 1 v Spurs 1 won't count, but you still have time to change FC Porto 0 Liverpool 2 before tomorrow's kick-off.

Thanks RS (and Daniel) - no problem, but just a reminder that your FC Porto 1 Liverpool 2 prediction matches with Gate's amended prediction from yesterday, which is a fairly popular outcome across all groups as it happens.

U'sual Champions League - Round of 16 predictions on 13:37 - Feb 15 with 1320 viewswessex_exile

Week 1 update
FC Basel 0 Man City 4
Juventus 2 Spurs 2
FC Porto 0 Liverpool 5
Real Madrid 3 PSG 1

By Champions League standards (I confess I personally find them a bit of a yawn-fest) there were some cracking games this week - Man City and Liverpool completely destroying their opposition away from home, Spurs coming back from a very early 2 goal deficit, and even the mighty Real Madrid having to come back from a goal down at home. With results such as these, it would have been reasonable to assume points were hard to come by in the UCL, but far from it.

Group A
1} Daniel.........................1/0......3pts
=2} BFG ..........................0/3......3pts
=2} TheHappyGooner......0/3......3pts

Group A couldn't be closer, with everyone on 3pts at the moment. Credit to BFG and TheHappyGooner for both finding an excellent three outcomes out of four. However, hats off to Daniel, who despite his no-show on Tuesday (he may have been a bit distracted, what with Spurs playing at Juventus) still managed to predict the Real Madrid v PSG result spot-on, and go to the top of the table as a result.

Group B
1} concordman.........0/4......4pts
2} mfb_cufc..............0/3......3pts
3} burnsieespana......0/2......2pts

Although there were no spot-ons in this group, there was still some very respectable scoring. Burnsieespana did well to get both outcomes yesterday evening, and MFB did even better by not only doing likewise, but also predicting Man City's away win on Tuesday. However, they came up against concordman in blistering form, as he correctly predicted all four outcomes for this week.

Group C
=1} durham_exile......0/3......3pts
=1} gsy163.................0/3......3pts
3} thrillseeker.............0/2......2pts

Durham and gsy163 went toe to toe this week, slugging away at each other and both coming away with the same three out of four outcomes (each missing the Spurs draw at Juventus), and stand equal top of the group on 3pts. Thrillseeker does well to stay in touch with 2pts for the FC Basel and Real Madrid outcomes, but has used both of his exact match allowances in doing so. With next week predictions already in from the top two, thrillseeker will have to thread the needle to find feasible predictions without any further exact matches.

Group D
=1} Gate16................0/3......3pts
=1} gerry_us..............0/3......3pts
3} RSCOSWORTH.......0/2......2pts

In Group D, Gerry picked up the FC Basel, Juventus and FC Porto outcomes for 3pts. Gate16 managed to post bang on kick-off on Tuesday, but in his haste exact matched both Tuesday's predictions with Gerry, meaning his Juventus v Spurs prediction was void, but still also collected 3pts for the correct outcomes from the remaining three matches. RSCOSWORTH successfully predicted the FC Basel and FC Porto outcomes for 2pts. It's worth pointing out that Gate16 has now had his one permitted exact match with Gerry, and RSCOSWORTH his one permitted exact match with Gate16.

Edit: for anyone (like Gerry) who read the earlier version, Group D suffered a major snafu, and not only was my spreadsheet linked Juventus v Spurs score faulty, but so was RSCOSWORTH's prediction for the Real Madrid game. This is now corrected, and apologies to all.

You're absolutely right Gerry, my apologies. The offending item was a broken link on the Group D spreadsheet which recorded the Juventus result as a 2-0 home win. Fixed now, and update updated.

This weeks' results are as follows:
Chelsea 1 Barcelona 1
Bayern Munich 5 Besiktas 0
Sevilla 0 Man Utd 0
Shakhtar Donetsk 2 Roma 1

With all the first legs complete, here's a round-up at the midway point of the Round of 16 matches.

Group A
1} TheHappyGooner......1/4......7pts
2} Daniel........................1/1......4pts
3} BFG............................0/4......4pts
With his bold prediction of double 0-0 results for last nights' games, for quite some time TheHappyGooner looked good for two spot-ons. Even with goals eventually arriving in the Shakhtar v Roma game, they still picked up one spot-on result, and an outcome from Tuesday, to storm into the lead on 7pts. Despite another no-show from Daniel on Tuesday, he still just holds on to 2nd place with an outcome on Wednesday to add to his earlier spot-on, but BFG is chasing hard on equal points from four outcomes.

Group B
1} concordman.........2/6......12pts
2} mfb_cufc..............0/5......5pts
3} burnsieespana......0/3......3pts
There's no debate about the performance of the competition this week, with Concordman getting the Chelsea and Shakhtar results spot-on, and the other two as outcomes for an excellent 8pts, and an almost unassailable lead at the top on 12pts. MFB eases further ahead of Burnsie with two outcomes and a total of 5pts, but with an outcome himself to be only two behind on 3pts, Burnsie must feel he still has a decent chance of getting the 2nd qualifying spot.

Group C
1} gsy163..................1/5......8pts
=2} thrillseeker..........0/4......4pts
=2} durham_exile......0/4......4pts
Another impressive performance this week in Group C, with gsy163 getting the Chelsea result spot-on, along with two other outcomes, to take a commanding lead at the top on 8pts. Going into this week, Durham had a slender 1pt lead over Thrillseeker, but with a solitary outcome to Thrillseeker's two, they are now neck and neck on 4pts each, and everything to play for going into the 2nd legs.

Group D
=1} Gate16.................1/3......6pts
=1} RSCOSWORTH......1/3......6pts
3} gerry_us.................0/4......4pts
With Gate16 (Chelsea) and RSCOSWORTH (Sevilla) getting spot-on results, and the latter also picking up the Bayern Munich outcome, both sit equal top of the group on 6pts. Gerry keeps in touch with the Bayern Munich outcome to finish on 4pts, but must be hoping for a spot-on (or two) of his own in the 2nd legs if he's to overhaul the joint leaders and qualify.

Congratulations all on an exciting set of first legs.

For those yet to predict, a reminder that the 2nd legs start on 6th March. I will bump this nearer the time, but for those yet to post, if you plan on leaving it late, do pay close attention to exact matches on your predictions.
