Having the Newcastle 1-1 gives gerry_us the advantage in this group.
Getting the Leverkusen 1-1 spot-on gives blueeagle a handy advantage.
Round Of 16 2nd leg fixtures No more than four predictions the same as fellow group members, and all fixtures to be predicted at the same time please.

A Newport goal with the last kick of the game, gives Blue4U2 another 3 pointer with the Colchester 2-1. As they have one result the same out of the last three fixtures, concordman will require spot-ons from Leeds and West Ham games to force a replay.
Next update will be after Sunday's fixtures. [Post edited 7 Mar 22:31]

Week 32 results
CHARLTON ATHLETIC 1 BIRMINGHAM CITY 0
Charlie Kelman's winner was enough to give Charlton a victory and an important three points in their bid to move further clear of the relegation zone in the Championship. Well done to Blue4U2 for being the only one to get this spot-on, and only durham_exile and burnsieespana had the outcome.
DERBY COUNTY 2 SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 1
Wednesday became just the fifth club in English Football League history to go 30 games without a win after they lost to Derby. Everyone predicted a win for Derby with 3 having it spot-on.
BOLTON WANDERERS 3 WYCOMBE WANDERERS 2
Bolton completed an astonishing comeback win over League One play-off rivals Wycombe thanks to Ruben Rodrigues (88), Mason Burstow (90+1 and Corey Blackett-Taylor (90+5). Well done again to Blue4U2 for being the only one to get this spot-on, and a further 21 had the outcome, with a massive 14 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
LUTON TOWN 2 READING 3
Striker Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan scored his first senior hat-trick as Reading stunned Luton, as they came from behind to beat them with two late goals. Nobody had this spot-on, but 6 did get the outcome.
BRISTOL ROVERS 2 CREWE ALEXANDRA 1
Tommy Leigh scored two late goals, in the 87th and 92nd minutes, as Rovers came from behind to beat Crewe. A magnificent 7 got this spot-on, and nobody had the outcome.
WALSALL 1 NOTTS COUNTY 2
Jodi Jones headed home a 94th minute winner as promotion-hunting County came from behind to beat Walsall. A magnificent 7 had this spot-on, and another 4 got the outcome.
Hold the back page. Late goals in four of this weeks matches put a completely different complexion on results, as Bolton, Reading, Bristol Rovers and Notts County all came from behind to claim dramatic victories. The unexpected 2-1 wins for Rovers and County was good news for a number of members, especially for durham_exile and burnsieespana going 2-1 all games, to give them an excellent 8 points each. They were the only ones to have two 3 pointers, but this weeks top performer Blue4U2 was the only one to get three, the wins for Charlton, Bolton and Notts County and the Derby outcome, to give him a brilliant 10 points. Best of those to get one 3 pointer were concordman, Jorash63 and BFG, who each had the Notts County 2-1, and thrillseeker, mfb_cufc and wessex_exile, who each got the Bristol Rovers 2-1. They each also had three outcomes, to give them all a decent 6 points.
U'sual Champions League A reminder for those who have yet to post. This competition starts next Tuesday 10th March, with the deadline 17.45.
In the Premier The decent week for concordman puts him a step nearer to a third title, as he also increases his lead by a point. The decent week for Jorash63 moves him up a place, and into the DEMS spot once again. The only other change has blueeagle moving up a place, as he was another to have the Rovers 2-1 spot-on. As for those fighting to avoid the drop, Daniel was the only one in the bottom four to get a 3 pointer, the County 2-1, and that enabled him to move to within 3 points of safety.
In Division One The Derby 2-1 spot-on, and the Bolton outcome for noah4x4 this week, to keep him ticking over. His lead was cut by 3 points, as the excellent week for durham_exile moved him back into the other automatic spot once again. Despite having the Rovers 2-1 spot-on, Tropical_Us drops to third. Three outcomes was enough for basher2010 to remain fourth. The decent week for BFG keeps him fifth. The top scoring performance from Blue4U2 moved him up three places, and into the final play-off place. The decent week for wessex_exile and three outcomes for gerry_us keeps them well in touch for the play-offs just 3 points further back. Having the County 2-1 spot-on, still gives oxfcolu hope of making the top six.

Qualifiers The current holder Sector4 qualifies automatically. The other 11 are the top points scorers over the two divisions after Week 22. They are:- noah4x4, concordman, Jorash63, durham_exile RIP, thrillseeker, ghughes11, Tropical_Us, gerry_us, blueeagle, basher2010 and mfb_cufc.
Round of 16 This will be four groups, with three members in each, and after predicting all 16 fixtures, the top two qualify for the Quarter-finals. Groups have traditionally been decided by using a random number generator, and I have gone along with that, by repeating the one used last year. The rankings in brackets after holder Sector4 is based on points tally at the time of qualification.
All predictions are the result at the end of normal time, extra-time and/or penalties will not count. If any members are level on points after the 16 fixtures, the tie-break rule will apply. There will be no first-to-post tie-break deciders, only most spot-ons. If they are still level, then a further tie-break will apply by predicting the attendance at the Colchester v Walsall game on Saturday 28th March.
Quarter-finals To be played on 7/8 & 14/15 April.
The Group qualifiers will then form two more Groups of 4, and predict all of the Quarter-final matches. Groups will be comprised as follows: Group A Winner A, Runner-Up B, Winner C, Runner-up D. Group B Runner-up A Winner B, Runner-up C, Winner D. Top two from each group qualify for the Semi-finals. As in the Ro16 there will be no first-to-post tie-break deciders, only most spot-ons. A further tie-break, if required, to be decided.
Semi-finals To be played on 28/29 April & 5/6 May.
These will be the Winner A v Runner-up B, and Winner B v Runner-up A. Predicting the Semi-final matches, plus one goalscorer from each of those games.
Final To be played on Saturday 30 May.
The finalist will predict the Champions League Final, including predicting different aspects of the game, not just the score.
Tie-break rules for the Semi-final and Final will be announced in due course.
Round of 16 1st leg Fixtures No more than four predictions the same as fellow group members, and all fixtures to be predicted at the same time please.

Week 31 results
BURNLEY 3 BRENTFORD 4
Relegation-threatened Burnley mounted a stirring comeback to overturn a 3-0 deficit, but were denied a remarkable point as Mikkel Damsgaard struck a dramatic 93rd minute winner to give Brentford victory. Nobody got this spot-on, but 16 did have the outcome.
NEWCASTLE UNITED 2 EVERTON 3
Substitute Thierno Barry scored a dramatic late winner as Everton stunned Newcastle to maintain their push for a European place. No points for anyone in this game, as 20 predicted a win for Newcastle, with 12 going for a 2-1 in what was the weeks most predicted score.
COVENTRY CITY 2 STOKE CITY 1
Coventry moved eight points clear at the top of the Championship as Jack Rudoni got a dramatic 94th minute winner. Everyone predicted a win for Coventry, with a magnificent 7 getting it spot-on.
QUEENS PARK RANGERS 0 SHEFFIELD UNITED 2
First-half goals from Callum O'Hare and Tyrese Campbell give United a comfortable victory. Well done to basher2010 for being the only one to have this spot-on, and a further 8 got the outcome.
DONCASTER ROVERS 0 CARDIFF CITY 4
Cardiff returned to winning ways as they claimed an emphatic victory, after their 12-game unbeaten league run was ended at Plymouth last time out. Another game with no 3 pointer, though 18 did have the outcome.
LINCOLN CITY 4 BLACKPOOL 0
Conor McGrandles and Dom Jeffries both scored their first goals of the season as Lincoln took their unbeaten league run to 17 games. A final game this week with no 3 pointer, but 22 did get the outcome.
ROTHERHAM UNITED 1 PLYMOUTH ARGYLE 0
A 7th minute goal from Joe Rafferty gave Rotherham's survival hopes a boost with this win, Only basher2010 and Madeira163 got this spot-on, and another 4 had the outcome.
STEVENAGE 2 STOCKPORT COUNTY 1
Matt Phillips' first goal for Stevenage earned his side a win, as they came from behind to beat Stockport. A magnificent 7 had this spot-on, and a further 6 got the outcome.
CAMBRIDGE UNITED 1 MILTON KEYNES DONS 1
A 96th minute penalty from ex-U's loanee Aaron Collins earns MK Dons a point. A sublime 5 got this spot-on, and one more had the outcome.
FLEETWOOD TOWN 0 NEWPORT COUNTY 0
League Two's bottom side Newport fail to have a shot on target as they frustrated in-form Fleetwood with a stout rearguard performance as they held out for a point. Well done to Madeira163 for being the only one to have this spot-on, and another 3 got the outcome. 18 predicted a win for Fleetwood.
After last weeks poor offering, that had 15 members firing blanks, it was good to have everyone getting points again this week. Although it wasn't all plain sailing, as four games failed to have a 3 pointer, but the other six produced 23 in total, and with 95 outcomes overall, it enabled most people to have a reasonable week. Two members did better than reasonable by getting three 3 pointers each. They were RSCOSWORTH, who had the 2-1 wins for Coventry and Stevenage, and the Cambridge 1-1, and four outcomes, to make him the weeks top scorer with a brilliant 13 points. Also Madeira163, who got the wins for Rotherham and Stevenage, and the Flleetwood bore draw, and three outcomes to give him a brilliant 12 points. Four members had two 3 pointers, with the best coming from basher2010, who had the wins for Sheff Utd and Rotherham, and five outcomes, to give him a superb 11 points. Also Tropical_Us, who got the Stevenage 2-1 and the Cambridge 1-1, and three outcomes to give him an excellent 9 points, and durham_exile and burnsieespana, who each had the 2-1 wins for Coventry and Stevenage, and two outcomes, to give them both a decent 8 points. Best of those to get one 3 pointer were Daniel and BFG, who each had the Cambridge 1-1, and five outcomes, to give them both a decent 8 points.
Happy Cup Details for the Final of this competition will be on a separate thread sometime tomorrow (Sunday).
U'sual Champions League With the Round of 16 fixtures finally revealed, the details for this seasons competition will be out on Monday.
In the Premier With six of the top seven scoring 6 points, it is another week ticked off for concordman, in his quest to win the title for the third time, as he maintains a 15 point lead. The top scoring performance from RSCOSWORTH enabled him to take advantage of the 6 pointers, by moving up a couple places, to a season high fourth, and now with every chance of making the DEMS. At the bottom those relegation places are now changing on a weekly basis, and this week it is mfb_cufc who escapes, after a first 3 pointer in six weeks, the Coventry 2-1, moved him up a couple of places, and he replaced once again by unitedwhites. The decent week for Daniel, helped him reduce the deficit to safety by 3 points.
In Division One With only 54 games left to the season, a third Division One title for noah4x4 continues to look more inevitable by the week. Another decent week enabled him to have a lead of 30 points. The race to see who is likely to join him in the Premier is hotting up, as the excellent week for Tropical_Us moved up a place, and back into the automatic spot once again. A decent week for durham_exile leaves him just a point behind in third, and the superb week for basher2010 is only a further point back in fourth. The decent week for BFG keeps in contention for the auto's in fifth. To complete a decent week for the top six, gerry_us moves up a place into the final play-off spot, after he got the Stevenage 2-1 spot-on. Just outcomes for wessex_exile, oxfcolu and Blue4U2, but they remain well in contention for the play-offs. If Madeira163 can produce more brilliant weeks like this one, he could still have a say in the top six as well.
