A much more sensible result in the Belgium Division A last time as Anderlecht managed to get a point on the board after a stoic 1-1 draw at Eupen. Looking at the stats, I'd have to say that For Eupen, it was a lost opportunity but it's early days and they will be a force throughout the season.
Leeds played Real Betis and lost, that's enough about that! But it does mean that the winners don't get double bubble. Full details at the end as usual...
So tonight, let's turn to the Scottish Championship and the game between...
@nathen007's Prediction
It's the opening Ayrshire Derby tonight as Kilmarnock entertain Ayr at home in the first game of their Scottish Championship season.
The big team news for the Killies is the signing of Middlesboro striker, the very promising 20-year-old Rumarn Burrell on a seasons loan who follows their other signing, goalkeeper Zach Hemming.
Tommy Wright, Killie's manager suggested that he would be thrown straight into today's matchday squad.
Former Leeds player and current Ayr manager, David Hopkin had had a busy close season signing keeper, Charlie Albinson, Irish midfielder Daire O’Connor and highly rated Rangers prospect, James Maxwell on a year long loan.
None of this is really going to help them however, Kilmarnock dropped from the Premiership after being relegated through the play-offs and will be hot favourites to go straight back up whereas Ayr finished 8th from 10 in the Championship after a poor season and I'm not sure the signings are going to make much of a difference unless Maxwell can hot the ground running and set the league on fire.
Kilmarnock will be a little worried about struggling in their 2-1 win over Stranraer in the Scottish League Cup and in the same round, Ayr hammered Falkirk 3-0.
Prediction: Kilmarnock 3 : 1 Ayr United - First goal scorer: Burke
Simply write the name of the FIRST GOALSCORER and the CORRECT SCORE as a comment. The competition closes 5 minutes before kick-off which is 19.45 BST. (18.45 UTC)
The Small Print
In the first goal scorer competition, own goals do not count. In the correct score competition, it's the score after 90mins. Extra time and penalties do not count and the pot for each competition will roll over if there is no winner. If more than one person chooses the same first goal scorer or correct score, the prize is shared, and everyone gets a little upvote! It seems I also need to add, one entry per person. Don't forget the new rule that only people with a rep of 50 or above are eligible to enter unless they have been approved. The bonus will be added to any winnings ONLY if Leeds United win and/or Man U lose and all pay-outs will never exceed 50% of post pay-out. Other bonuses are paid out at my discretion.
And the Winners Were...
The result was 1-1. the first goal scorer was Benito Raman, so how did we do? Correct score was worth 6000 tokens and is split between @harpreetjanda, @jfang003 who take home 3000 tokens each. No one got Raman so the pot will grow to a very respectable 8000!
@abimbola753 and @ralph75 both take home a HBI token each.
That's it for today guys, good luck with today's game and I'll catch you back here together!
