Six games and six different leagues make up this week’s predictions battle. Huge derbies in the English and Scottish Premier Leagues, Ligue 1 and Portugal as well as opening matches from La Liga and Serie A. Damian had a good week last week but can Damon bounce back this week?

Last season Damian cruised to a comfortable win and took the predictions crown from Damon. How about this season? This is the first week with most of the games concentrating on the new Premier League season.

This is the very last set of predictions of the summer but there is no way back for Damon as he has been well and truly taken apart by Damian. Only two games this week but they are hugely important: the finals of Euro 2008 and the Copa Libertadores.

Much like the Germans, the Dutch and the Portuguese, Damian has laid down a clear marker in the predictions race by taking a 6-2 win after the first few days of the tournament. Can Damon make a comeback or will Damian stretch his lead even further after the next set of fixtures?

After 42 weeks of predictions, Damian is crowned languagecaster’s Predictions King. Behind for the whole race, he pipped Damon at the post with a devastating show of predicting power in the last week. He got the result correct for ALL ten games - a first at languagecaster - with two perfect scores to bring Damon back to earth with a crash. Last year Damon was champion but it all ended in tears after he followed his heart not his head last week. Damian correctly predicted a boring 1-0 victory for the Premier League side, Portsmouth, in the FA Cup. While Damon went for Roma continue reading

It is all to play for as we head into the final week with only two points separating our two ‘experts’, meaning Damian needs to move up another gear if he is to prevent Damon from retaining the predictions title. On this week’s show we feature the FA Cup final, crucial matches in Italy and France where both leagues have gone down to the wire, the relegation battle in Spain and of course, the Champions League final from Moscow.
Can Damon hang on? Can Damian pip him at the post? Can you do any better?

Who would have believed that after 40 weeks of predictions there would only be one point separating the two ‘experts’ after Damian’s 9-4 victory last week. It is indeed ’squeaky bum’ time as this week’s games will decide where the predictions crown will end up and what matches we have this week! The Premier League title decider, relegation battles in La Liga in Spain, a top-of-the-table clash in the Argentinian Clausura, the opening round of the Brazilian League, an all-Brazilian Copa Libertadores quarter final and, of course, the UEFA Cup final.
