A small profit of £1 last week due to the draws I predicted in the Premier League, which was a common feature of the league last week! This resulted in overall losses on the blog reducing to £8.50.
Like last week there is a mixture of sports from around the world and a total of 12 predictions. I'll start with cricket where I'm going for the new world number one team to complete a series whitewash against India.
The friendly rugby matches in advance of the world cup continue this weekend and my forecasts are for Wales to beat Argentina at the Millennium stadium, France to triumph against Ireland and Scotland to beat the Italians.
Cycling's last grand tour of the year the Vuelta a Espana kicks off today with the team trial and I'm going for the soon to be defunct team of HTC-Highroad led my Cavendish to win this stage. Novak Djokovic has been this year's leading tennis player if not across all sports having lost only once and I'm predicting this run to continue in Cincinnati.
In the Engage Superleague as they play-offs draw ever closer it looks like being a successful weekend for the away teams and as such I'm forecasting Warrington to win at the Catalans and Hull FC to triumph at the Crusaders.
The final set of predictions are in the Premier League where after many draws last weekend I see the same being true again this weekend as I predict Arsenal and Liverpool to end in stalemate at the Emirates, last weekend's two big winners Bolton and Manchester City to draw in the North West and Manchester United to be held by Tottenham in the latter team's first league game of the season. Where I differ is in my forecast of Stoke to win at Norwich as the team from the Potteries have been quietly building a team that should be challenging for Europe again this season.
There may not be a blog for the next couple of weeks due to weddings and some holiday but watch this space anyway!
