How to Play Goborr – Football Score Prediction Guide

Whether you're a seasoned football enthusiast or a first-time predictor, Goborr's scoring system rewards accuracy and football knowledge. Predict match scores across the Premier League, Champions League, AFCON and more. Here's exactly how points are earned:

Scoring System

Our scoring system is designed to reward accuracy and insight. For each match you predict, you have the opportunity to earn points based on the accuracy of your forecast. Here's how it works:

  1. Home Team Correct Score

    1pt

    If you correctly predict the exact score of the home team, you'll earn 1 point.

  2. Away Team Correct Score

    1pt

    Guessing the correct score for the away team also earns you 1 point.

  3. Correct Goal Difference

    1pt

    If your prediction nails the goal difference between the two teams, you'll score an additional point.

  4. Correct Outcome

    3pts

    The most rewarding prediction is to correctly forecast the outcome of the match, whether it's a win, draw, or loss for either team. If your prediction aligns with the real-life result, you'll bag a hefty 3 points.

Maximum Points Per Match

The highest possible score for a single match prediction is 6 points, achieved when you correctly predict both team scores, the goal difference, and the match outcome all at once. A perfect prediction on Arsenal 1–3 Man City, for example, earns you all 6 points.

Now, let's illustrate how this scoring system works with some examples:

Step-by-Step: How to Make Predictions

  1. Create a free account: sign up with your email in under a minute.

  2. Browse competitions: choose from the Premier League, Champions League, AFCON, and more.

  3. Pick your fixtures: select the upcoming matches you want to predict for that round.

  4. Submit your scorelines: enter your predicted home and away score for each match before kick-off. Predictions lock at kick-off.

  5. Watch your points update: as matches finish, your points are calculated automatically and your leaderboard position updates in real time.

  6. Win prizes: at the end of each round, the top predictors on the leaderboard receive cash prizes paid directly to their bank account.

Tips for Better Predictions

  • Focus on competitions you follow closely. Familiarity with team form, injuries, and head-to-head records gives you a real edge.

  • Don't ignore the goal difference point. A prediction of 2–0 when the result is 3–0 still earns you the goal difference point (both teams up or down by the same margin).

  • The correct outcome (win/draw/loss) is worth 3 points, the biggest single scoring category. Getting the result direction right matters more than nailing exact scores.

  • Predict every available match. Missing a fixture means missing potential points even if you would have scored on it.

Leaderboard & Prizes

Points are tallied after each round. The leaderboard resets every round so every week is a fresh start. You don't need to have topped last week to win this week. Prize amounts and the number of prize positions vary by competition. Check the Prizes tab on each competition page to see the exact breakdown before you predict.

Circles – Private Leagues

Beyond the main competition, you can create or join a Circle, a private group where you compete only against people you invite. Perfect for office sweepstakes, WhatsApp groups, or any crew that wants their own leaderboard. Circles run alongside the main competition so you can win both.
