Champions League predictions - qualifying rounds

[Victor Galis]

Yay!

How much is an exact score worth?

[Victor Galis]

Yay! I knew FC Sheriff Tiraspol wouldn't let me down

[Paul]

Exact score is one bonus point (on top of the point you get for predicting the correct winner).

[Victor Galis]

Aww... not 3 extra like other prediction threads?

[Paul]

F91 Dudelange - FK Vardar 1-1
FK Zeljeznicar - ÍA Akranes 3-0

EIF is still leading with 7 points, now two points ahead of three people with 5 points.

[notyoueither]

Who could have guessed that a team with as cool a name as 'Barry Town AFC' could suck so much? Other than the people who live there, that is...

You have 24 hours left to post your predictions for the return matches of the first qualifying round.

[Solly]

At home, Barry Town ought to beat Skonta. They beat Porto 3-1 last season, though it didn't stop us Aber Town faithful chanting "Eight nil to the Portuguese" at their keeper a few times.
