The simple format
Before kickoff, everyone predicts the result, exact score, and a goalscorer. At full time, the leaderboard decides who gets bragging rights.
Make it fun for casual fans
Do not overload the game with stats. Let casual fans pick from simple choices, while serious fans can chase extra points through exact score and goalscorer calls.
Suggested rules
- Lock predictions at kickoff.
- One Power Play per matchday.
- Exact score is optional but high reward.
- Goalscorer picks must be submitted before lineups lock if possible.
- No real-money wagering needed.
Why it makes matches better
A prediction game gives neutral fans a reason to care about late corners, consolation goals, and unexpected scorers.
