MatchDay Arcade

Football prediction tips

Predictions on MatchDay Arcade are free skill picks on real fixtures — not bets. Here is how we think about exact scores versus safe results.

Exact scores are worth five

An exact score awards five leaderboard points; the correct result alone awards one. That means a brave but reasoned 2-1 can beat a week of vague 1-0 guesses — if your read on both teams is solid.

When to take the safe result

If you are unsure about goals but confident about the winner (or a draw), still lock a plausible scoreline that preserves the result. One point still moves the prediction board.

Use the match tools

Before you lock a pick, open the match centre for team news, line-ups and form. Then confirm the settlement rules on Prediction rules and place the pick on Predict.

Prediction boards vs game tickets

Prediction points climb the prediction leaderboards. Game tickets from Bingo, LINK and the other arcade football games are separate and feed giveaways. Playing both is how most of our regulars climb overall.
