Here's Campaign India's select panel of football aficionados previewing Gameweek 9 of the ongoing Barclays Premier League season.
The panel comprises Aarish Matcheswalla, creative partner, OneSeptember; Raj Nair, chief creative officer, Madison BMB; Rahul Mathew, creative head - West, DDB Mudra; Sanjay Gupta, head marketing - wellness and youth, Marico, and Campaign India's in-house football follower, Raahil Chopra.
Scoring will be based on:
- Five points for each correct result.
- Ten points for the correct result with the right goal difference (if a match result is 2-0, and the score predicted is 3-1, the panelist will get 10 points). A draw will only be awarded five points.
- Twenty points for the exact scoreline.
