Game Of Thrones Season 7 Finale: 10 Major Predictions For 'The Dragon And The Wolf'

8. The Golden Company Appear

The promo for the finale sets the stage for a big battle, with the Dothraki and Unsullied assembled at what is presumably a lesser-seen side of King's Landing (it really looks more like Highgarden, but there's no logical reason for them to be there, especially when Jaime and Bronn - who are in the Dragonpit later on - are surveying the scene).

One army we haven't seen, though, is The Golden Company. Cersei outlined to Tycho Nestoris that she intended to hire the sellswords, after losing so many men in the 'Loot Train Attack', but the idea hasn't been addressed since.

It'd be odd to drop that completely, since the Company is such a recognisable name, so there's a good chance we'll see them stationed somewhere in King's Landing too, ready to take on Daenerys' armies should the need arise. Cersei has the Greyjoy fleet waiting, but needs more men on the ground, and this would be a good way of giving her added protection and following-up on her conversation with Tycho, even if an actual full scale battle never erupts.
