Italy v Malta
I believe that in the first round of fixtures the Faroe Islands became the first team we have ever had in any of the prediction competitions where a everyone predict they will fail to score (against Germany). Malta have the honour of the being the second team to achieve that feat - consequently that means everyone has gone for Italy to win. Only 6 different scorelines have been predicted for this match: *the most popular being 4-0 (14 players went for that), 3-0 (9 players), 5-0 (6 players) and 2-0 (4 players). 7-0 has been chosen twice and 6-0 once.

36 players have gone for a home win and the other player has gone for a draw. 13 players have gone for Poland to win 2-0, 8 for a 3-0 win, 6 for 3-1 and four players have gone for a 2-1 win. There are 3 players going for Poland to win 4-0 and both 1-0 and 5-1 have been selected once, whilst the only player not going for them to win has gone for it to finish as a goalless draw.
