    Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 62 - League BRA/BEL Match Day 2 (2025/4/19-20)

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

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

    *Home*
    - Before Thursday (= before 2025/4/16, 23:59 GMT)
    =- Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference

    *Away*
    =- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their
    teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2025/4/19
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't
    picked any team, you have free choice)
    =- 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.

    player can pick two teams (one from each match), and he/she will be

    The results, I fear, will be the very same
    So it’s too late for me to really stake a claim
    But unsophistication is this prediction‘s name
    And I’ll go with Westerlo which I think is a shame.

    In what may be the strongest Tier 3 lineup ever, winning home matches is crucial.

    Of course when I'm home, the gamemaster picks *perfectly* balanced
    matches. Time to go back to the FS sausage:
    - Fortaleza has David Luiz, Palmeiras Felipe Anderson. No brainer:
    Fortaleza!
    - KRKG has three FS picks, USG zero. So I pick Genk.

    SE Palmeiras

    Silver Skull, I wish you the best. Indeed, I wish you have so many good things in your life that you don't have time to waste for a boring UPT
    pick.

    I gets busy, like a Bee. If i didn't get it done at this early hour it
    wouldn't get done at all.

    Problem with the no-pick strategy is that Jesus will just pick the
    winner in the Brazilian match. This way at least I have a 50/50 chance.

    Inter teams are unbeatable &
    Real (rooster version)

    My first reaction was: that is not David Luiz!

    https://x.com/GingaBonitoHub/status/1914087105736692127

    But, on further inspection of the youtube video, and in particular of Palmeiras' two goals (min 0:59 and 1:22), the mark of DL's impeccable
    defending is unmistakable.

    Moral of the story: we shouldn't make fun of milivella's players'
    receding hairlines (especially when there is so much more they can be
    made fun of...)
