2018-19 Prediction League - First Six Games

[Snowball]

The First Six Games

I know we often have "The Next Six Games" threads.

This is for those taking part in The RFC Predictions Threads


DERBY —————— Home
Forest ——————- Away
BIRMINGHAM ——— Home (Carabao Cup)
BOLTON —————- Home
Blackburn ————— Away
Villa ———————— Away


For me a lot depends on those first two games. Lose badly to Derby, we might get thrashed at Forest and morale/ confidence would obviously be lower and we could suffer.

But even if that were to happen, home to Birmingham is a great chance of a solid win, as is home to Bolton. Blackburn might be anything, but we have a reasonable chance of a point there. I can't see Villa being a force this season, so we could get a result there also.

IF (and it's a big if) we could WD our first two, I think we could W3 D1 of the next four. If we lose our first two I think we still ought to finish with W2 D2 L2 or W2 D1 L3

I'm going for:

3-2 WIN DERBY
1-0 LOSE Forest
3-0 WIN BIRMINGHAM
2-0 WIN BOLTON
1-1 DRAW Blackburn
1-2 WIN Villa

W4 D1 L1 11-5
W3 D1 L1 8-5 League

That feels WAY too optimistic!


=======================================================================

For those in the prediction thread I'll score predictions as follows.

No separate scores for individual results. We already have that!

Exact total goals for = 10 points
Exact total goals against = 10 Points
Exact goal difference = 10 points
PERFECTION BONUS = 10 Points

(Yes, getting the For, Against, GD perfect scores 40 points)

BEST goals FOR prediction (if not exact) = 5 Points
Next best goals FOR prediction = 4 points
Third best goals FOR prediction = 3 points

ditto goals against

For simplicity I will treat the Carabao Cup games as a league game, and imagine 3 points for a win etc.

Best Points Prediction Scores 10, next 7, next 5. WORST (furthest from actual) scores -5

I will recognise some names that are in the season-long prediction thread
but you will make my life easier if you can tell me if you are also in that



PLEASE POST SCORES AS THEY WOULD APPEAR IN THE FIXTURES/RESULTS, HOME TEAM FIRST

SO IF RDG are to lose 2-0 at first post 2-0 Forest LOSE, not RDG 0-2
