Pre-Match Predictions 2023/24 - Week 1 - Liverpool (Home) - The Shed End Prediction League - The Shed End

August 12, 20232 yr

Week 1 of the PL season predictions.

Your prediction should be of the score, the first goal scorer and the minute of the first goal.

For example, if I am predicting a 2-1 win for Chelsea with the first goal scored by Jackson in the 5th minute: Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool, Jackson, 5

NOTE: If you do not include the team names in your prediction and instead just put the score, e.g. "1-2" I will assume Home - Away.

If you're predicting a 0-0, then the player name and minute should be of the first shot on target, rather than first goal. If you predict a scoring game, but the result is 0-0, then the player name and minute will, again, be of the first shot on target.

If you are predicting an own goal as the first scorer, you don't need a player name, but you do need to specify which team gets the goal. E.g. If Chelsea are playing Man Utd and you think Chelsea will score first with Man Utd scoring an own goal, it would be something like: Chelsea 2-1, Own Goal (Chelsea), 35. So the own goal team is the team that gets the goal, not the team that puts the ball into their own net.

Deadline is 5 minutes before kick-off.
Maximum of 1 change per person.

------------------

Correct First Scorer: 5 points
Correct First Scorer and Minute: 15 points

I was top 16 last time around but it's not like there is any relegation here so basically the party never ends!

So let's see here, 33% of getting this one right, almost like a coin toss if a coin had 3 sides hm tricky.. 5 predictions so far and none where we are the losing side, interesting isn't it, almost as if it's blasphemy to predict us losing the first match, and at home as well!

Anyway I read somewhere that there hasn't been a manager that beat Liverpool in his first PL game in charge, it's a record of 10 matches dating from 2017 and Liverpool hasn't lost an opening PL match since 2012. Also worth mentioning that no fixtures in PL history had five consecutive goalless draws, this matchup is currently on 4 goalless draws and this matchup had been played only once before since the PL has its name, in 2003 and we won that one... So with all this in mind it's obvious how the match will go, I mean unless we get a red card in the first 4 minutes cause of that ref.

Chelsea 4 - 0 liverpool, Chukwuemeka, 18'.
