Mark's score prediction success rate: 1/10
My favourite football team in the whole world (Manchester United, are you surprised?) won their game 3 – 0, with a great performance from a long-time player Paul Scholes. Other teams who did well this weekend were Chelsea and Blackpool – who beat Wigan by a great margin and were the surprise win.
Mark Lawrenson so-far has a 10% score prediction success rate, and a 40% winner prediction success rate. While scores are hard to get right, I hope his winner predictions improve.
Next week: more Premier League football.
