This year\u2019s Bezza Europe consists of the top 32 from last season\u2019s (2025-2026) league table. The format changed slightly last season to put us in line with the changes in the Champions League group stage. So we will continue with the same format again this season. If you have been lucky enough to qualify… the first round group stage will consist of one big group of 32 (33 players if the person who won last season’s Bezza Europe finishes outside the top 32), with your points from your predictions going into a league format over 8 matchdays. The top 16 will go through to the last 16, where you will play another player who has qualified in the top 16. The top of 8 will be seeded and will be drawn to play someone from 9th-16th. Full details of last 16, QF, SF draw is shown below. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the event of 2 people being on the same points in the group stages, then the person with the most correct scores will take precedence, if this is still the same then the person with the closest amount of goals predicted will finish higher. If there is a tie in the knockout stages, it will go to the most correct scores and if still the same then it will be decided on the Goals Predicted rule, who has predicted the closest amount of goals to the goals actually scored in the selected matches.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is free and a prize is given for the eventual winner.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
