Take part in our Matchday 5 challenge for a chance to win £1,000 and receive a free £5 bet just for participating!

We’ve reached Round 5 of our free World Cup match predictor, after already awarding £4,000 in prizes and countless £5 free bets. Did we mention it’s completely Free To Play? As with the tournament itself, the competition becomes tougher as we move ahead. For this stage, participants must forecast which teams will advance and also predict the total number of goals scored in regular time (excluding extra time and penalties) to serve as a tie-breaker for the final four Round of 16 fixtures. Entries close on Monday at 7pm!
