A unique part of European soccer in general and English soccer specifically are tournaments and side competitions played outside of regular league play. Two of the most prominent of trophies in the sport are coming down to crunch time, with semi-final games to be played over the next few days. The FA Cup semis will go off at Wembley on the weekend. Then on Tuesday and Wednesday the first legs of the Champions League semifinals get underway. Our regular swarm of soccer fans put their collective intelligence to task in predicting these contests.
EPL PICKS, WEEK 35
Roma @ Liverpool ( Champions League ): Swarm Pick Liverpool (by 2+) — Bet $60
Chelsea vs Southampton ( FA Cup ): Swarm Pick Chelsea (by 2+) — Bet $60
Man United vs Tottenham ( FA Cup ): Swarm Pick Man United — Bet $60
HIGH RISK PLAYS
Real Madrid @ Bayern Munich ( Champions League ): Swarm Pick: Real Madrid — Bet $20
In FA Cup play, the swarm sees a close match between Man United and Tottenham, even though they’ll be playing at the Spurs’ temporary home in Wembley. In the other semifinal match, the group is a little more confident in Chelsea to beat Southampton, this year’s surprise late tourney entrant. In the replay above, the swarm finds consensus fairly quickly on a two-goal win for the Blues.
Considering the Champions League matches, the swarm thinks Liverpool should handle visiting Roma without a great deal of trouble. The replay shows that the magnets are, if anything, more cohesive in this pick than the Chelsea prediction in the FA Cup match. That’s a strong contrast to the swarm’s prediction for the matchup of European soccer royalty in Munich that pits Real Madrid and Bayern against one another.
