Saturday football predictions: our 17 Desk calls
Every football game the BAI8 Desk has a call on for Saturday 31 October, from Chelsea v United to West Ham v West Brom, with kick-off times and links.
On this page
The BAI8 Desk has 17 football calls for Saturday 31 October, from four games at 12:30 UTC to eleven more between 14:30 and 15:00. Each call opened in the app before kick-off, where the Free plan covers 5 assessments a month with no card, so this page lists the fixtures and kick-off times rather than the numbers. All 17 go on the public record once they finish, wins and losses alike.
