How to Predict World Cup 2026 Match Scores
The matches are listed in chronological order from June 11 (opening Mexico vs South Africa) to June 27 (final Group L matches). For each match, enter your predicted home and away scores in the boxes between the team names. Predictions save automatically as you type. Filter by group (A-L) or by matchday (1, 2, or 3) to focus on specific matches.
Office Prediction Pool Scoring
A common scoring system for office prediction pools: 3 points for predicting the exact score correctly, 1 point for getting the result right (win/draw/loss for the home team), 0 points for a wrong result. Bonus rules: +1 point if you predict both teams to score and that happens, +2 for predicting a clean sheet that happens. Lock predictions before kickoff of the first match on June 11. Compare scores after each matchday.
Tips for Better Predictions
Most group-stage matches finish 1-1, 2-0, 2-1, or 1-0 historically (these account for about 50% of all World Cup group-stage results). High-scoring matches (3+ goals per team) are rare in groups but more common in knockouts. Watch the FIFA April 2026 rankings — France (#1), Spain (#2), Argentina (#3), England (#4) typically win their group games. But upsets are part of the World Cup — Saudi Arabia beat eventual champion Argentina in 2022.
Best Use Cases
Run a private office pool: each person predicts every match, score the pool weekly, post the leaderboard on Slack. Settle bets with friends: pick 3 marquee matches and bet snacks or coffee on getting the closest score. Personal challenge: predict every group match before kickoff and grade yourself after Matchday 3. Share with kids: families enjoy comparing predictions and rooting for "their" results.
