CHIEF Sports Writer Scott Wilson is taking on local businesses in The Northern Echo World Cup 2018 Predictions game.
Before each day's play Scott will make his predictions and we want businesses to try and beat him at his own game.
For today's matches Scott is up against Durham Animal Feeds as both teams makes their predictions for Egypt v Uruguay, Morocco v Iran and Portugal v Spain.
It was a mildly shaky start for Scott in the tournament opener - Russia v Saudi Arabia - with the right result but wrong scoreline. Scott said 'Russia might just squeak it' 1-0.
On Saturday, Scott is taking on The Northallerton Heating Centre.
