2017-2018 Serie A Prediction Tournament

Nine results out of 10 went with the favourites this round so if you didn't score in the double digits you were behind the pace. @ Gilbertsson was the only one of us who nailed the perfect 10 out of 10 results and with a couple of accurate score predictions thrown in gets a fully deserved 14 points. Meanwhile @ Taib closed the gap on @ KensingtonSC and with two others within 2 points we have a very exciting and close race for top spot.

@ Afghan-Juventus should have taken my advice from last week and taken the week off but with all but one of the favourites coming in that may explain why AJ is still in first place. @ Gilbertsson receives the maximum score available for the round closing the gap on first place by 10+ points.

Excluding the Crotone fixture, results in Serie A this weekend went pretty much to plan. More importantly however the BigSoccer tipping comp was anything but dull with some of us racking up big scores while there was also a major shake-up on the leaderboard. @ totti fan recaptured some of last seasons form with 15 points from 9 results and three 3 pointers. After an admirable extended run @ KensingtonSC finally relinquished the lead falling 3 places to 4th and so @ Taib is our new leader but is only 1 point clear of equal 2nd and 3rd.
