Interesting that you and EIF both posted a prediction for Feyenoord's match that was played yesterday. And you still got it wrong.

[Paul]

FC Shakhtar Donetsk - Club Brugge FC 1-1

I am now leading. OFITG and Giovanni share second place.

[Paul]

I just noticed that Grazer AK plays at home against Lok Moscow instead of the originally planned away match. I guess UEFA reversed the draw because otherwise both teams from Graz would play at home at the same time. Unfortunately I only just noticed that.

I have reversed home and away goals in all predictions for that match. That means that if you had predicted a Lok Moscow win you will still get points if Lok Moscow wins. And if you predicted a Graz win you will still get points if they win.

[Paul]

PFC Levski Sofia - FC Dynamo Kyiv 0-1

I got the exact score for this. I am now 3 points ahead of Giovanni and OFITG who didn't get points for this match, but are still in second place.

[Paul]

FK Zeljeznicar - Newcastle United FC 0-1

Giovanni is now alone in second place.

[Paul]

Milan AC - FC Slovan Liberec 1-0
FK Partizan - FC Bayern München 0-3
Grazer AK - FC Lokomotiv Moscow 0-2

Wernazuma joins OFITG in third place.

[Paul]

Rosenborg BK - Brøndby IF 1-0
Celtic FC - FC Basel 3-1
Zalaegerszegi TE - Manchester United FC 1-0

No changes in the top 4. With 13 points Locutus and Fergus have the best results so far this week.

I have to work tomorrow, so I won't stay up until the other two matches have finished. I will post the results tomorrow. If you really can't wait to find out how you have done you can download the spreadsheet. I have updated it with all the results so far.

[Robert]

that's more than I got when I was sticked to the 1-1 strategy!

You guys should have stopped me
