What’s the weather looking like on the pitches over in Eastern Europe? If it isn't snowing—or if the snow starts coming down mid-match—all our predictions basically go out the window. You could easily see a 0-0 deadlock, or even a wild 3-3 shootout, purely theoretically...

@Eric Fox7/">@@Eric Fox7: Exactly. It makes reading the flow of the game almost impossible. On a pristine pitch, you can at least make an educated guess about who should be controlling the tempo, but once you're dealing with snow, honestly, you can't predict anything. Either way, I tend to stay away from betting on games like this.

northernpuma said:Please, what exactly did you pick here? Aside from two matches where your analysis hints at who you're leaning towards (Mainz 05, SC Freiburg), you haven't left anything concrete in the others. If Hamburg had lost, you could have said you just gave them a "slight edge with a possibility of a draw," which is basically the same thing you're doing with Bayern Munich and Schalke 04—claiming you're "skipping them because you don't trust them at all," yet still noting they're favorites. Why even include them in the analyses then? I’d really appreciate it if actual picks were included in the analyses; right now, it just looks like everyone is hitting perfect predictions, when in reality, people are just writing vague nonsense. For instance, tomorrow in El Clásico, I'm giving Real Madrid the edge with a chance of a draw, but it wouldn't surprise me if FC Barcelona wins, so I'm skipping that pair entirely. We'll see tomorrow when I quote my own post and marvel at my incredible predictive powers...☕

Exactly that. This is purely an opinion on the teams playing; not a single pick was actually chosen.
