Making predictions

For each game you can predict one of three outcomes, a win for either team or a draw. Predictions can be changed at any time up to the kick-off of the match in question.

In the knock-out stages additional predictions will be available, such as the number of goals scored in the match.

Jokers

For each set of games you can assign one game to be your joker. A correct prediction in your joker game will result in the points awarded for that prediction being doubled. You can change your joker at any time until the kick-off of your joker fixture.

Scoring

Points are only awarded for correct predictions and will vary from 1 to 100 depending on the number of players who also made the correct prediction. The lower the number of players who make the correct prediction the more points will be awarded.

In the event of a game going to extra time, the result used will be the one after extra time but before any penalty shoot-out.

A guide to the number of points which can be earned for each prediction is displayed under each potential outcome. These numbers are updated hourly and are liable to change until kick-off time.
