How FanTribe's predictors fared

It was a quiet week in the prediction game. FanTribe's prediction data shows calls were logged on just eight of the ten fixtures — one apiece — and only one proved correct.

The one that landed: the away call on Liverpool at Ipswich Town, which the visitors delivered with a 2-0 win.

The misses, according to FanTribe's prediction data:

• Newcastle United were tipped at home; AFC Bournemouth left with a 2-2 draw.
• Nottingham Forest were tipped at home; Tottenham Hotspur held them 0-0.
• Fulham v Crystal Palace was tipped as a draw; Palace won it 3-2.
• Brighton & Hove Albion were tipped at home; Leeds United took a 1-1 draw.
• Brentford were tipped at home; Sunderland AFC earned a 1-1 draw.
• Manchester United were tipped to win away; Everton salvaged a 2-2 draw.
• Arsenal v Chelsea was tipped as a draw; Arsenal won it 2-1.

No predictions were logged on Manchester City v Coventry City or Hull City AFC v Aston Villa, so those two passed without a community verdict.

A one-from-eight return is a modest haul for the community, but with two perfect records at the summit, Hull City in third and Coventry still searching for a first point, there is plenty for the FanTribe community to debate before the next round of predictions opens.
