Predictions for Last 16 Champions League first leg games

Check out our predictions for the first leg’s games for the last 16 of the Champions League. The predictions today come Dominic Vieira, a senior writer for the A Football Report. For the first time, I will have a third predictor for the Champions League ties. The third individual, is a great person who goes by the name of Ben Wen. Smart guy, who knows his stuff. Hence why he is at Warwick University. But as always, feel free to question, comment and critique.

Horrific predictions by everyone predicting! I think we all were expecting far better predictions. But it shows the unpredictable nature of the Champions League. But we have one winner by far! Ben Wen blitzed through with one perfect result and three correct results. Well done Ben!

The new points system

To make things a little more interesting I am going to introduce a points system. Its very simple. I'll break it down.

For every correct result (i.e Joe Bloggs predicts West Ham to beat Wolves, and this actually happens) this will be worth 1 point.

While every perfect result (i.e Joe Bloggs predicts West Ham to win 2-0, and this happens) this is worth 3 points.

So Correct Result = 1 point

Perfect Result = 3 points
