This writing was taken from the Prediction League me and Louis van Gaal (not the real Van Gaal, a footyroom user) manage on Footyroom, feel free to predict here, I'll add you in the standings.
Football must be the most unpredictable game out there (don't even get me started on the Premier League). You might want to think about joining the Prediction League twice, even Footyroom is having trouble predicting this week's games. The top four teams of the Serie A and the Premier League will face each other this weekend. Let's start with the big one, the most anticipated game in the Serie A so far this season:
1. Juventus vs Napoli

First placed Napoli will look to go further in their quest of winning the Serie A as they travel to Juventus stadium to take on last year's champions on Saturday. With the aid of top scorer Gonzalo Higuain (24 goals), Napoli hold the highest scoring team in the Serie A belt. They couldn't ask for a better challenger than Massimiliano Allegri's side: the best defense in the league.
2. Arsenal vs Leicester
Arsenal host league topper Leicester City Saturday. The Foxes are fresh off a victory against Manchester City, bringing their dream of winning the Premier League closer to reality. Meanwhile, an inconsistent Arsenal team has gone quiet in the title talk due to bad results in their last six games, defeating the best team in the EPL might just get them back on track.
3. Barcelona vs Celta Vigo

Spanish side Celta Vigo is under the lowest point of their season as the team only won one of their last six games. Hope is not around the corner when their next game is Barcelona at Camp Nou-- the Catalans are on a 10 game winning streak.
Coach Eduardo Berizzo might want to show this stat to his players before the game to boost their confidence, Celta defeated Barcelona two times in their last three meetings, including the last time the two sides met back in September.
4. Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini saw his side slip to fourth place after falling to Leicester on Saturday. With a victory over Tottenham, City can climb right back up to second (if Arsenal draw or lose). But it sure won't be easy for Sergio Aguero and compatriots, the Spurs only loss in the month of January and the beginning of February was against Leicester, 1-0.
5. Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao

Real Madrid still haven't lost under head coach Zinedine Zidane. Athletic Bilbao aren't the best candidate to get the job done, having won two of their last six. Relegation side Granada wasn't a good candidate either but they almost got the job done as Madrid claimed the winner all the way in the 85th minute, with a goal from Luka Modric last Sunday.
6. Fiorentina vs Inter Milan

You already predicted 1st vs 2nd place in the Serie A, now, 3rd vs 4th. Inter Milan looked as if they were going back to their glory days as they topped the league back in September-November, but things slowly dragged away, they're in fourth place now.
Fiorentina also had a taste of first place back in September after knocking Inter down to second place with a 4-1 victory. First place isn't the price like the last time the two teams met but the desire to win won't be any less.
Go ahead, flip a coin, ask your girlfriend, play the games on FIFA, do whatever you can to get those right scores.
