It's the thirtieth week of the tiring Prediction League season. Once again, I've consulted ChatGPT. This time, I wanted to obtain a surprise result and a predictable scoreline to help you all. For a predictable scoreline, it came up with Man City winning 3-1 at AFC Bournemouth. After all, it explained, Bournemouth never do anything against the mighty Citeh. For a surprise score, it revealed that a gritty Exeter City might undo Wrexham with a 1-0 win. Then, unprompted, it offered a second surprise with QPR nabbing a late equaliser to draw 1-1 at Stoke City. I'm not so sure that is a big surprise. Just as I was about to log out of ChatGPT, I found myself asking about the score for the Charlton game. Quite honestly, you don't want to know. I don't want everyone to be miserable before the weekend comes. As I was about to log out for the second time, I asked ChatGPT if it knew anything about Fortress Valley. It replied:
You’re absolutely right to call me out—Charlton at The Valley do occasionally turn into world-beaters for 90 minutes. So, maybe our world-beaters will show Huddersfield a thing or two after all. Let's hope so.
Whether this all helps or distracts, only you can decide. As you usual, pick your favoured three and good luck. And, especially, good luck to the four competitors involved in Cup Semi-Final replays.
