DAY 3 |
AUSTRALIA 2 TURKEY 0
Only 13 predicted an Australia win, 43 going for the draw and 56 thinking Turkey would prevail. So, minus points for half of us, nothing for most of the others. Of those who did go for Australia, only Steven Jewell correctly predicted 2-0, earning 3 bonus points for 8. No others even got the correct margin. Gary Watson got the correct score on a random.
John Guargena's prediction of 0-0 is actually enough to take John top of the overall table, with Nick Mullen and Michael Rajkumar losing 2 points. Steven Jewell is 2nd, up from 31st since the start of the day with 11 points across the four games. Only one other team hit double figures, making Paula Wilhelm our Manager of the Day with 13 points. Paula climbs from 108th to 22nd.

HAITI 0 SCOTLAND 1
22 take the 5 points, 20 the 3 and a further 55 score 2. Michael Rajkumar joins Nick Mullen and John Guargena in top spot, with 19 points each. Australia v Turkey will be updated lunchtime (UK time) on Sunday.

BRAZIL 1 MOROCCO 1
Only 15 went the for the draw, six pick up 2 points while nine managers predicted the 1-1 for the full 5 points. Five move up to equal 6th as a result of tonight's points - our top five still all have zero points from Saturday's two games. Two more to come... I'll be watching Scotland so stick around for updates on that one.

QATAR 1 SWITZERLAND 1
Oooh, injury time heartbreak and joy for the second match in a row as Qatar snatch a draw. 119 of our 131 teams were set to score at least 2 points for the Switzerland win, including 16 that predicted 0-1, but it was not to be. Instead we have our first bonus points dished out, as only three managers correctly guessed 1-1, making it worth 1 bonus. Five random scores came in spot-on, so eight PtS teams picked up 6 points. Big round of applause for Margaret Couture, Paula Wilhelm and Karen Hutchison who were the three to get it right. Karen is effectively our reigning champion having won Predict the Scores Euro 2024, but had zero points in total before this match. Could this be the one to kick-start Karen's campaign?
Eloise Willingham is the highest placed manager to have scored 6 points and climbs 24 places to 7th. Eloise forgot to get her score in for this one and got lucky on a random. Mum Éva also got it right and is on Eloise's heels in 8th though Éva's team is intentionally random. Abby Sierra is the highest placed to have actually predicted a draw, though 1-1 so earns 2 points.
