Why Exact Score Predictions Are Harder Than Correct Results
You can call a home win and still get zero points if the scoreline is wrong. Here is why exact scores trip people up.
Most of us can pick the winner more often than not. Arsenal at home against a promoted side? You probably have a view. Whether it finishes 2-1 or 3-1 is a different problem entirely.
A deflection, a stoppage-time goal, a red card: small things move the numbers. That is why prediction games split the reward. On Perfect Score you get three points for the exact score, two if you nail the goal difference, one for the right result (home win, away win, or draw). Wrong outcome, zero.
Plenty of players build a solid season on ones and twos. You do not need six exact scores every week to move up the table. The £5,000 jackpot does need them, but that is a separate chase.
Scores that show up every week
Look at any Premier League round and a chunk of games land in a boring band: 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-0. Boring is useful. Defaulting to 3-3 because it feels exciting usually costs you points.
Save the wild guesses for fixtures where both teams actually ship goals for fun. For everything else, pick a result you believe in, then nudge the numbers rather than swinging for a headline scoreline.
The full breakdown lives in our points guide. When you are ready to test it, open the predictions hub and submit a gameweek before you start hunting the jackpot.
