Here we are again with the second round of TotoSteem and my outāofācompetition predictions for the selected matches!
My first attempt didnāt go too well, since I managed to guess only 2 out of 8 results. Not trusting my skills as a predictor, last week I tried an āinfallibleā technique: picking outcomes different from the ones I actually wanted to bet on.
However, the results ended up making my āfortuneāteller averageā even worse, now sitting at roughly an anonymous 50%. So Iām going back to a technique invented by an old uncle of mine: āprojection into the future.ā Since it works more or less āhalfway,ā if you manage to guess the right one, thereās a good chance you might win a prize.
Of course, Iām joking ā nobody has a crystal ball and this is just a game. Here are my predictions:
1ļøā£ Lecce vs Monza: 2
The Lombard side have collected just one point so far ā last Sunday on Parmaās pitch ā but even in the other matches they lost, they didnāt look bad at all. The time feels right for their first Serie A win of the season.
2ļøā£ Sassuolo vs Juventus: 2
Held to a home draw by Milan last week, Spallettiās men need a quick bounceāback to avoid losing touch with the leading pack. Sassuolo havenāt started the season badly, but this match looks well within the Bianconeriās reach.
3ļøā£Manchester Utd vs Manchester City: X
Okay, on paper thereās no contest. The visitors look clearly favored, but relying on the law of large numbers, it would feel odd to see three straight āaway wins.ā Iām going with a draw, which could end up satisfying both teams.
4ļøā£ Real Sociedad vs Atletico Madrid: 1
For the Colchoneros, fresh off their midweek cup efforts, this is a tough trip to one of the hardest grounds in Spain. Real Sociedad come into the match with seven points from their last three and seem to be in great form, so Iām backing them to win.
5ļøā£ Getafe vs Deportivo LC: X
The visitors are coming off one of their best league starts in recent years, but I donāt think they can truly pose a real threat to the big teams. Getafe are certainly not a powerhouse, yet at home they turn into a different side. A draw, in my view, is the most likely outcome.
6ļøā£ Elversberg vs Bayern Munchen: 1
The question is just one: will Bayern feel the effects of their European clash against the fearsome Norwegians of BodĆø/Glimt? Sure, the Bavarians arenāt lacking a deep bench, but will the rotations be enough to withstand the enthusiasm of the āterrible newcomer,ā who so far have done nothing but win? To me, this smells like a sensational upset.
7ļøā£ Brest vs Paris St. Germain: 2
For the first of the two Ligue 1 matches on the slip, you could almost copyāandāpaste the same reasoning used for Bayern, with one important difference: PSG have already dropped points in the league and canāt afford any more missteps. The 6ā1 they put past Slovan Bratislava will likely fire up the twoātime European champions, and I expect them to head home with all three points.
8ļøā£ Le Mans vs Lens: X
Perhaps the most evenly balanced match of the eight and, as such, one with a ānaturalā outcome of a draw that already feels written in the stars.
