    Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 64 - League GRE/TUR, Match Day
    5 (2025/12/13-14)


    No balanced matches in the Greek league, we move to Switzerland (which
    was also included among Lleo's preferences). Also, Goztepe and
    Trabzonspor kept out because they've already featured too often,
    despite having very balanced matches.



    What to do
    -----------

    Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away?

    *Home*
    - Before Thursday (= before 2025/12/10, 23:59 GMT)
    =- Pick one team from each of the two matches

    *Away*
    =- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked
    their teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday
    2025/12/13
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't
    picked any team, you have free choice; if she is Lassie and there is a
    tie, diregard the last vote)
    =- their opponents will represent your opponent

    *ATTENTION: NEW RULE*: If the away player doesn't pick any team before
    his/her deadline, the home player will be represented by the team that
    achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams. If the home
    player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the away player can
    pick two teams (one from each match), and he/she will be represented
    by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked
    teams.
    If nobody picks a team, teams are assigned randomly.

    I hadn't even realized that Thun-St. Gallen is a top-of-the-table
    clash. Great gamemastering. (Also, what's going on in the Swiss
    league? Thun is second from bottom in terms of TransferMarkt value)

    I pick Thun and Alanyaspor.

    Why do all the web-sites show teams home record and away record on separate pages now, instead of letting me look at them both at the same time? It's a lot more difficult to make predictions if I can't look at them both on the same page.

    Jesus and MH still in contention for a promotion spot.

    Silver Skull must pick in the final matchday or he will be excluded

    Jesper's non-pick was costly, and now he will need a clear 3-goal win
