How to Predict
How to Make Each Prediction Type
Two Ways to Play
High Risk, High Reward
Predict the exact score for maximum points. Fallback points if you get the result right.
12 pts (8 fav) + bonus for high-scoring games
Simple and Safe
Predict the result (who wins or draw), optionally with the goal margin.
4/3/2 pts for result (underdog/draw/fav), 6/4 with goal margin
High Risk: Exact Score
How it works
12 (underdog) / 8 (favourite)Enter exact scores in both boxes (e.g., 2-1, 0-0, 3-2).
Points breakdown:
- Exact score correct = 12 points (underdog) or 8 points (favourite/draw)
- Wrong score but right result = 2 points (underdog) or 1 point (favourite/draw)
- Wrong result = 0 points
Bonus Points for High-Scoring Games!
- Exact score with 6+ total goals = +10 bonus
- Exact score with 4-5 total goals = +4 bonus
Example: Predict 4-2 correctly = 8 base + 10 bonus = 18 points!
Best for: Matches where you're confident about a specific scoreline. You get fallback points for picking the right winner even if the score is wrong.
Simple: Result Only
Pick the Winner (or Draw)
4 (underdog) / 3 (draw) / 2 (fav)Click a team name to predict they win, or click the ":" to predict a draw.
Points: 4 points (underdog win), 3 points (draw), or 2 points (favourite win)
Best for: Uncertain matches where you just want to pick a winner. Safe because you get points as long as you pick the right result.
Simple: Result + Goal Margin
Pick Winner + Goal Margin
6 (underdog) / 4 (favourite)Click a team name, then select the goal margin (1, 2, 3, or 4+ goals difference).
Example: "Argentina by 2" covers 2-0, 3-1, 4-2, etc. Goal margins of 4+ are grouped together (4-0 and 5-1 both = "by 4+").
Bonus for Big Goal Margins!
Correctly predict a goal margin of 3 or 4+ = +2 bonus points
Example: Predict "by 3" and it's 3-0 = 4 base + 2 bonus = 6 points (or 8 for underdog)
Warning: This is all-or-nothing - if you predict "by 2" and they win by 1, you get 0 points. Only use goal margin if you're confident about the goal difference.
Draws
Predict a Draw
3 ptsClick the ":" between the score boxes to predict a draw.
Draws can only be predicted as a result (no margin option). You get 3 points if it ends in any draw.
Knockout Only: Penalties
Penalties Winner
6 (underdog) / 4 (favourite)Click a team, then click "Penalties" to predict they win on penalties.
High risk: You only score if the match actually goes to penalties AND your team wins. If it doesn't go to penalties, you get 0 points.
Only available for knockout matches. Use sparingly - it's a gamble!

Underdog = team with lower FIFA ranking. Bonuses apply to both underdog and favourite.
What is an Underdog?
The underdog is the team with the lower FIFA ranking (higher rank number). Correctly predicting an underdog victory earns bonus points.
Example:
Brazil (Rank #5) vs Australia (Rank #26)
- Australia (#26) is the underdog
- Predicting Australia wins = higher points
- A draw = favourite/draw points (lower)
Strategy Tips
Use exact scores for high-scoring matches
The bonus points (up to +10) make exact scores very rewarding for games with lots of goals.
Result-only is your safe bet
For tight matches or when you're unsure. Guaranteed points if you pick the winner.
Goal margin is medium risk
Use when you expect a clear win but aren't sure of exact score. Big goal margins (3 or 4+) get +2 bonus points!
Penalties is a gamble
Only use if you genuinely think a knockout match will go the distance.
