Well we can’t say we’re surprised, Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has gotten another match prediction horribly wrong and this time it’s Leicester City fans cashing in on his error.
Watch this clip of Paul Merson giving his predictions for the Leicester/Sevilla Champions League clash.
Merse thinks the Spanish side are “dark horses” and completely writes off the Foxes saying he doesn’t fancy them “not even in the slightest.”
Well, he was wrong, again, and much to the delight of Jeff Stelling who seemed to know the former Arsenal man was talking complete and utter BS.
Leicester went on to beat the Sevilla 3-2 on aggregate thanks to goals from Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton in the second leg adding to their 1 away goal in a 2-1 first leg defeat.
If one thing is to be learned from Paul Merson’s predictions it’s to back the complete opposite to what he says.
"I think Sevilla are dark horses."
Merse doesn't just fancy the Spanish side against #LCFC tonight, but also for Champions League glory.🏆 pic.twitter.com/v9ZRQDw6KZ
