With a day to go before the football season, from those that have already made their predictions here seems to be a clear consensus of opinion.

There is still time to make your own predictions in the Ugly Inside prediction leage with entry's being taken for Saturday's game at West Brom right up till kick off, even if you do miss this match though, you can still join in at any time as with 38 games in the season, its not always about who predicts every game, but who is accurate and with bonus points for goals scored if you get the score absolutely spot on a good high scoring draw can often propel a participant right up the table even if they haven't managed to enter their score in every game.

If you take our current predictions as a yardstick, a high scoring draw is on the cards around 25% of entrants so far have gone for 1-1 with only slightly less for 2-2, for those that fancy something out of the norm 3-3 has been predicted but not by many.

The draw seems to be the consensus with equal numbers going for either a home or away win, which in itself bucks last seasons trend as I don't think I have ever seen so many plump for a home win unless it was at Old Trafford or the like, indeed given that we are opening up at West Brom and they are a team that we should be fancying our chances of finishing above, a whopping 70 % cant see us winning there and that was a surprise to me.

No surprise though for first goal scorer, a third of all votes are for England's Rickie Lambert, Jay Rodriguez seems popular as well though and he isn't lagging far behind, with Adam Lallana also polling a decent number, but after that its sparse, Wanyama has a few votes, Lovren is fancied by one punter and even Guly gets a mention, but not much beyond that.

So get your prediction in now, its an easy & free competition to enter and keep track of, yue merely have to be a registered member of this site to participate, if you are its as simple as clicking on the "predictions" link in the West Brom V Saints game box icon on the home page, if your not it takes about 30 seconds to join.
