++ Bonus HBI Shares ++ First Goal Scorer + Correct Score Comp. No 353: EFL Cup - Burton v Oxford United - 11 August 2021 - 11500 + 6500 SPS Tokens

Salford were so close to knocking Derby out last night and it was only a penalty shoot-out that saved them after twice coming from behind to tie the draw, 3-3. Rooney's days are surely numbered as were Frank Wankhard's before him. I'll try not to be too gleeful ;-)

Anyway, another great result for me as my team of mis-firing prediction experts hit a blank yet again! The pots are rising up nicely though so I will again turn to the EFL Cup and this draw...

@nathen007's Prediction

Today we have an all League 1 clash as Burton host Oxford United in the EFL Cup. Bothe teams played their first games on Saturday. Burton got a solid 0-1 away win at Shrewsbury while Oxford held on away at their great rivals, Cambridge to get a draw.

Oxford finished top 6 last season and a close season has seen them re-sign loanees from last year and make a few new permanent signings. A definitive signal of their intent to go one better this season in their hunt for promotion.

It was on the last day of the season, they pinched that last play-oof spot from Pompeii due to giving...yes, you guessed it, Burton a thrashing by 40 nil. Although at home, is the is a pointer to the result tonight?

Jimmy Floyd has also been busy with the signings during the close season but the loss of new signing Moult, from Preston for 5 months due to an injury is a big loss.

Prediction: Burton 1 : 1 Oxford - First Goal scorer: Amadi-Holloway

Simply write the name of the FIRST GOALSCORER and the CORRECT SCORE as a comment. The competition closes 5 minutes before kick-off which is 19.45 BST. (18.45 UTC)

The Small Print
In the first goal scorer competition, own goals do not count. In the correct score competition, it's the score after 90mins. Extra time and penalties do not count and the pot for each competition will roll over if there is no winner. If more than one person chooses the same first goal scorer or correct score, the prize is shared, and everyone gets a little upvote! It seems I also need to add, one entry per person. Don't forget the new rule that only people with a rep of 50 or above are eligible to enter unless they have been approved. The bonus will be added to any winnings ONLY if Leeds United win and/or Man U lose and all pay-outs will never exceed 50% of post pay-out. Other bonuses are paid out at my discretion.

And the Winners Were...

Seriously. Someone has to win tonight but to ease the pain, an HBI share each are on their way to @chrisparis and @jersteemit.

Good luck with today's game and I'll catch you all back here tomorrow!

3 days to go!
