FA Cup: our prediction method
FA Cup (England): before every match we compare the odds of several bookmakers and use them to derive our tip and the estimated probability of a 1, X or 2 result.
- The tip is the single outcome we rate highest. In matches where the favourite is barely ahead, we recommend double chance.
- The coloured 1 – X – 2 bar divides our estimate across the three outcomes: home side wins, draw, away side wins.
- Fair odds work out as 1 divided by the probability. Bookmaker odds above that level may be value, but value does not mean the bet will win.
Completed matches are in the results, the remaining rounds in the fixture list and the top scorers in the scorers ranking.
FA Cup: frequently asked questions
FA Cup: which games come with a prediction?
The next predicted match: Oxford City – Leicester – Fri 6 Nov · 19:45.
FA Cup: how do we choose which tips to give?
It all starts with bookmaker odds: we take prices from several firms, strip away the margin and work out an average. The tip is shared to inform you.
What do the 1, X and 2 on the bar stand for?
They are the three outcomes – home win (1), draw (X), away win (2) – and the colours show our estimated probability for each.
What are fair odds?
To get fair odds, divide 1 by the probability we estimate for a result. If a bookmaker pays more, the bet may be value, yet no bet is certain to win.
FA Cup: which score do we see most often?
1–1 is the score seen most often across the seasons on show (11% of games).
Can I be sure to win with a prediction?
No. We share our predictions to inform you, and they cannot promise that a bet will win. Nobody under 18 may bet; please gamble with care.
