What score prediction games are, how they work in the UK, and how to get started on Perfect Score.
Published 7 August 2026 · All guides
You forecast the score at full time: home goals and away goals after 90 minutes plus stoppage. Predicting 2-1 means you think the home side gets two and the away side one.
In the UK these games sit alongside fantasy football and accumulators for a lot of fans. They reward reading form and sticking with it across a season, not one lucky Saturday.
Perfect Score runs gameweeks tied to real fixtures. You submit before a published deadline, usually the first kick-off of the round. Points arrive after each match finishes.
A typical Premier League gameweek has six selected fixtures. One predicted score per match. Leaderboards track weekly and season totals; jackpots track exact scores separately.
Exact score: 3 points. Correct goal difference: 2. Correct result: 1. Some gameweeks add a bonus for calling every result right.
The £5,000 headline prize needs six exact scores in an eligible six-fixture round. Four or five exacts can trigger site-credit tiers. Full table in our points guide.
Normal time only unless the competition says otherwise. Extra time and penalty shootouts in cups do not change your scored prediction.
Postponements before kick-off get reflected in the hub. Check the deadline on the predictions page; do not assume Saturday 3pm.
Perfect Score prediction games are skill-based, not bookmaker markets. You are not staking on odds per match in the predictor. Instant win products on the site are prize draws with a free postal entry route.
Strategy-wise, think leaderboard position and repeatable picks, not long-shot scorelines every week.
Home form, recent results, and defensive injuries beat random high scores. 1-1 and 2-1 home wins show up all season. So do low-scoring draws between cautious sides.
Review your slip after each gameweek. Players who notice missed margins improve faster than jackpot-only hunters.
Beginner habits are in our Premier League tips guide. Gameweek previews on the blog add fixture context during the season.
