BOYLE Sports is offering football fans another exciting opportunity in Round 4 of the free World Cup match predictor. Simply take part to claim a free £5 bet, and if you top the Matchday 4 leaderboard, you’ll take home a £1,000 prize.

After already awarding £3,000 in previous rounds, there are still five more £1,000 prize pots to be claimed. One lucky contestant in Round 2 scooped the entire prize, while Round 3 saw four joint winners. Best of all, participation is completely free, and for every round you play, BOYLE Sports will credit your account with a £5 free bet.

With the tournament now into the knockout phase, the challenge has stepped up. To enter Round 4, you’ll need to predict which teams will advance, as well as the total number of goals scored in normal time (excluding extra-time and penalties) across eight Round of 32 fixtures. Entries close at 8pm tomorrow.

For every stage of the 2026 World Cup — including three group rounds, the last 32, last 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final — BOYLE Sports is hosting this free-to-play game exclusively for FourFourTwo.com readers. The schedule for the predictor is straightforward:

Matchday 8: Predict the exact scorelines for the third-place play-off and the World Cup final after 90 minutes, plus the minute of the first goal in the final as the tie-breaker

Every time you submit your predictions, you’ll receive a £5/€5 free bet within 24 hours — giving you the chance to collect up to £40/€40 in free bets over the course of the tournament, even if your predictions don’t come true.
