Am I the only one who dislikes the tactics guessing feature? I mean, your choice for defense is already based on a guess of your opponents offence, and the guessing feature only makes the game more dependent on luck. A team can variate between all possible tactics but still have them guessed. As for a need to decrease the effect of LI, another defense match up could be added, like 1-1-3 zone, since there are 2 defenses against outside shot(3-2 and 1-3-1), and only 2-3 for inside defense.

I think the effect of the guessing should be changed so that a correct guess would give you only a slight advantage,
whilst an incorrect one would give you a moderate disadvantage. That way, teams would still be discouraged to play the same tactic, but the result would be less dependant on luck.

But in the rules it's stated
"You’ll gain a sizeable edge over your opponent if you can predict their offensive strategy correctly<...>
On the other hand, if your prediction is incorrect, your players will be unprepared and won’t perform as well."

And is the advantage gained for a correct guess bigger, smaller or equal than a disadvantage for a incorrect guess?

Whatever it is, I still think it should be,
that a correct guess would give you only a slight advantage,
whilst an incorrect one would give you a moderate disadvantage.

I think the idea behind the GDP is to discourage using the same tactic all the time (LI), and I think it's very succesful at that. If using it is a pure gamble, it has achieved its goal. If that means no-one uses it, that's great because the situation is the same except the tactics that are used are more diverse, which was the goal. If people still use it to gamble, the will get burnt more than not so use is at own risk. I see it as an option to go all out when you are at a disadvantage and need to pull a miracle. If you're right you have a chance, if you're wrong it's no big deal because you would have probably lost anyway.

As I understand, they have equal chances of getting burnt or not

But then the game becomes more dependent on luck, rather than management strategy.

you pick prediction as you pick tactics and lineup, using the brain and studying your opponent, is not exactly what i call luck... is one more opportunity that make users pick from more different tactics than before
