2020-2021 Prediction Contest

Okay, here we go. Given that it’s already Friday I think as long as you have your entries in before our first match, we’ll be okay with that. We can probably sort some kind of prizes for the winners but Zach and I will have to coordinate that.

Our traditional openers:

(2) How many points?

(3) How far will we get in Europe?

(4) How far will we get in the Copa del Rey?

(5) What teams will be relegated from La Liga?

A few last ones:
