Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 41 - League (ITA) Matchday 3 (March 23-24)

[milivella]

What to do
-----------

If you don't play in Tier 2, you can also cast your vote for Lassie's pick!

Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away?

*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before March 20, 23:59 GMT)
- Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference

*Away*
- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their
teams) and before Saturday March 23, 11:59 AM GMT
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't
picked any team, you have free choice; if she is Lassie and there is a
tie, diregard the last vote)
- Their opponents will represent your opponent

(If the away player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the home
player will be represented by his preferred team. If nobody picks a
team, teams are assigned randomly.)

I don't know the first thing about the Libyan NT, but you can't expect me
to pick the Faroes can you?

Is this a friendly? I'm not sure how to predict friendlies without a league table to look at.

Spartak Moscow "2" - Nizhny Novgorod

No evenly balanced Uruguayan League matches to choose from? (Or African Nations Cup matches?)

Going on the nations league table, I'll go for Netherlands and Spartak Moscow "2"

Nope, this is UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying.

Probably not, given this week is an international break.

But He could have chosen some really great matchups like

Guadeloupe - Martinique

El Salvador - Jamaica

Haiti - Cuba



(Or African Nations Cup matches?)

I suppose I could look back at the World Cup results then (still no league table to look at); I might as well leave my pick as it is though.

Fenix v Danubio looks evenly balanced to me; they're playing each other this weekend.

Is this the strategy that brought you *ten* league titles?!

Unfortunately the only viable way for me to find the matches for UPT is
to check bookmakers' websites. My source (BetExplorer in this case)
didn't have the odds for the Uruguayan league. :(

It ended 5-1... ;)

Not balanced enough according to bookmakers (1X2 = 3.20 vs. 3.20 vs.
2.05, checked right now on OddsPortal; bookies were right, as Martinique
won).

Post by Mark

Post by MH
El Salvador - Jamaica

This should have been balanced enough (2.30 vs. 3.10 vs. 3.00). Maybe
BetExplorer didn't have the odds yet on Sunday night?

Post by Mark

Post by MH
Haiti - Cuba

Again, not balanced enough (1.56 vs. 3.77 vs. 5.13, and the favourite won).

There was Lybia vs. South Africa.

I recommend NL and NN for Lassie. Can't think of any canine
justification off hand. Except there is probably an anagram with Dog in
it from the latter. Not, alas, Good Dog.
