This years La Liga Prediction league kicks off on 29 August with the first week of matches. As in last year the rules are simple. I will post the upcoming games early in the week and you have until 0900 hrs Spanish time on Saturday which is 2400 hrs PST Friday here on the west coast of the US to submit your predictions.
