World Cup results and our prediction record

We have published 159 World Cup predictions since November 2022, and every one of them has been graded against the final score.

Across those matches, on the match result it was right 1 times out of 3, too few to put a rate on; on the double chance it was right 5 times out of 6, too few to put a rate on.

Every concluded World Cup match we predicted is listed below, with the pick we made beforehand and what actually happened.

Our record in World Cup

Every prediction below was published before the match kicked off and graded afterwards against the final score. Losing markets are included, and the sample size sits beside every rate.

Market Predictions Correct Hit rate
Match result 3 1 1 of 3 too few to quote a rate
Double chance 6 5 5 of 6 too few to quote a rate
Over or under 2.5 goals 5 1 1 of 5 too few to quote a rate
Over 1.5 goals same call, safer line 3 1 1 of 3 too few to quote a rate
Under 3.5 goals same call, safer line 2 1 1 of 2 too few to quote a rate

The last two rows are not separate predictions. They are the same over or under call read at a line that is easier to clear: a call of over 2.5 goals also clears 1.5, and a call of under 2.5 also stays under 3.5. That is why each of them covers about half the matches, and why they land higher.

The safer line is the same goals call read where it is easier to clear: a call of over 2.5 goals also clears 1.5, and a call of under 2.5 also stays under 3.5. Each price is the one quoted when we published the call.
