For all fixtures kicking off at 19:45 tonight (8th August), the Lord of the Hour is the Moon in the first half and then in the second half is Saturn, followed by Jupiter late on.

I believe the first half will contain more goals than the 2nd half. Jupiter at the end of the match could provide some interesting ties.

I am currently in the process of making a new method which will use manager placements and transits to determine the winner of a given match instead.

It is the analogy of the "good day at the office" or "bad day at the office"
