The Lawro Challenge – Week 19

Seeing the old year out in the company of the BBC’s preeminent pundit predictor.

Xmas LawroEighteen rounds of games in the Premier League have now been completed. That means we have now predicted the results of 180 matches. In Week 18, Rich scored 8 points, Geoff 12 points, and Lawro 12 points. Perhaps Rich is getting complacent in the lead as the others are closing the gap.

Proving that if, like every politician or CEO, you carefully select your statistic and starting point Geoff forecast that on the strength of the last 3 weeks he was firmly on track for a comfortable lead by the time the daffodils were out.

In this challenge we award one point for a correct result, and a further two points (making three in total) if the score prediction is spot on.

We now march on to week 19. After this week we will have reached the halfway point of the season.
