Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is German comedian Henning Wehn.
The Hagen-born comic's stand-up career actually owes its origins to English football, after he took part in an open-mic night while working for Wycombe Wanderers in 2002.
Henning Wehn says he is watching "as much football as possible" while touring the UK Wehn explained: "The company I was working for in Germany was about to go under so I looked at my CV, which looked all right, but I didn't speak English.
"I thought 'that has to change' so I applied to the 92 League clubs in England, because I'd always worked in sports marketing. I ended up working for Wycombe in their marketing department.
"They are still the first result I check, and I try to get to five or six games a season. A lot of the people who I worked with are still there, so it's great to go home."
Wehn is touring the UK with his new show 'Eins, Zwei, DIY' and is using his travels to watch "as much football as possible".
"So far I've been to Bristol Rovers versus Forest Green and Oldham against Bradford," he added.
"There's not that many people at lower league games so I can get in and out easily. If there's lots of people I might miss soundcheck."
You can see all of Henning's predictions on Football Focus at 12:10 GMT on Saturday on BBC One and the BBC Sport website.
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth ONE point. Getting the exact score correct earns THREE points.
Last week, Lawro got four correct results from 10 Premier League games, with no perfect scores.
His score of four points was was beaten by Citizen Khan actor Adil Ray, who picked three correct results, but had one perfect score to give him a total of five.
We are keeping a record of the totals for Lawro and his guests (below), and showing a table of how the Premier League would look if all of Lawro's predictions were correct (at the bottom of the page).

Match report
Southampton are not just strong defensively, they have got lots of creativity too and a goal threat in the shape of Graziano Pelle.
Saints have been the surprise success story of the season but Sunday is their first big test of the campaign.
Robbie Savage: "Hard work seems to be the bare minimum expected under Koeman, and it has helped bring him those good results. Saints have made the most tackles of any top-flight team this season, with an average of 23 per game, and their success has been built from the back."
As bizarre a game as Manchester City's win over Bayern Munich was on Tuesday night, it is the sort of result which will give everybody at the club a massive lift after everybody had written them off.
Manchester City's hat-trick hero Sergio Aguero celebrates after scoring the winner against Bayern People will say how lucky City were, but I was in Munich in their first group game when they lost out to a very late goal.
Bayern went on to walk away with the group but that was a huge win, even for them.
Tuesday's victory will have the same effect on City - their belief will have come flooding back.
I see them going on a bit of a run now and I think they will go to St Mary's and win.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Henning's prediction: 0-3
Match preview
Both of these sides have had Europa League ties this week, and they do not have a great record in their domestic matches to follow those fixtures this season.
Everton look in better shape, however, after stringing together a five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.
Tottenham, meanwhile, still look like a team that has just got together in pre-season and there is not much of a pattern to their play.
"Fourth spot in the Premier League - and Champions League qualification - is seriously up for grabs this season and if Everton can keep their key players fit then I think they have got a real chance of getting it. They just need to keep up the bit of momentum they have built up in recent weeks."
Spurs were fortunate to beat Hull last time out, in a game that turned when the Tigers went down to 10 men.
They have struggled at home under Mauricio Pochettino and, although I don't think they will lose again at White Hart Lane, I cannot see them winning either.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Henning's prediction: 1-1
