What are football predictions?

Football predictions are forecasts of the outcomes of football matches, helping you place bets with a higher probability of winning. They take into account various factors, such as the strengths and weaknesses of the teams, head-to-head statistics, and external elements like match time, date, and weather conditions. Within our football predictions, we also provide betting tips that focus on specific markets, such as over/under a certain number of goals and shots on target.

The main benefit of using football predictions is the ability to increase your chances of winning, as well as gaining valuable insights into each matchup. A disadvantage is that relying on predictions may reduce your own flexibility when making betting decisions.

Our football predictions are backed by a team of experts with over 10 years of experience, supported by real-time data.

When are football predictions released?

New football predictions are released throughout the day, with the most popular competitions, such as the Premier League, the Championship, and the Champions League, published first, usually around 00:00 UTC. Predictions for less popular leagues follow shortly afterwards.

This page, which features today’s football predictions, is refreshed daily at 00:00 UTC to ensure it remains up to date. By selecting your preferred date in the menu, you can easily navigate between today’s predictions, football predictions for tomorrow, and football predictions for games that take place in the weekend. The navigation also allows you to view predictions from the previous two days.

How are football predictions determined?

Football predictions are based on our team’s expert insights, supported by real-time data. Before publishing predictions on our website, we follow a strict four-step guide that includes analysing home and away teams, head-to-head data, league standings and the game round, as well as macro factors surrounding the match. This four-step approach ensures our match previews are as accurate as possible.

Below, we describe each step in more detail:

  1. Analysing home and away teams: Our first step focuses on analysing the home and away teams. We assess relevant data such as squad availability, current form, and other key performance indicators.
  2. Head-to-head data: Our second step involves analysing head-to-head data. We review up to the 10 most recent matches played between the two teams.
  3. League standings and game round: Our third step involves analysing the league standings and the current game round. We closely examine the standings to assess the relative strength of the teams. The stage of the season is also crucial in determining how important the match is for both sides.
  4. Macro factors: In our fourth and final step, we analyse macro factors surrounding the match. This includes elements such as travel distance for the away team, match time and date, and weather conditions.

What is the difference between football predictions and football tips?

The main difference between football predictions and football tips lies in the scale and scope of the recommendations provided.
