    Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 63 - League NED/GER, Match Day
    5 (2025/9/20-21)

    Thanks for managing the game (and for teaching me).

    milivella - Jesus Petry
    Heerenveen - NEC Nijmegen
    Werder Bremen - SC Freiburg

    The most important match of the season requires the most careless strategy.

    Picking by pure vibes:
    - Heerenveen
    - Werder Bremen

    Also an Oulipo pick: "Pick using only one vowel."

    Jesus, we all know you'll win the match and get promoted. So why don't
    you make it more epic? If you don't pick, it will be an even more extraordinary win!

    There's teams named for falcons and sea-gulls,

    My options are few,
    but what I will do,
    is go with the go-ahead Eagles.
