Football prediction tips are lists of matches with a suggested pick for each one, and 1xTip publishes them every day. A pick can be a match result, the number of goals, whether both teams score, corners, cards or the half-time score. The table below is the day’s list. This page explains how to read it, what each type of tip really means, and which mistakes cost people money.
The table of tips is supplied by an outside prediction provider and shown as published. The writing and the figures under it are ours, and they come from the results of 33,323 league matches in 18 leagues.

Tomorrow’s tips
What a tip can be about
You’ll find several kinds of tip on this site, and each has its own page.
Match result (1X2). A home win, a draw or an away win. It’s the oldest bet and the hardest, because three outcomes leave plenty of room to be wrong.
Double chance. Two of the three results at once, such as home win or draw. It lands far more often, and pays far less.
Goals. Over or under 2.5 goals, and whether both teams score. These don’t need you to pick a winner.
Corners and cards. How many corners or yellow cards a match produces. They depend more on the league and the referee than on the teams.
Half-time and half-time/full-time. Who leads at the break, and who wins in the end. The nine possible combinations don’t happen equally often.
Asian handicap. A goal start for one side that removes most of the draw risk.
Goalscorers. Who scores first or at any time, which is the one bet here that we can’t measure with league results, so the page explains the bet and its traps instead.
The average match, league by league
Before you read any tip, it helps to know what a normal match looks like. Across 33,323 matches, the average one produced 2.69 goals, 9.78 corners and 4.14 yellow cards. Half of them (50.7%) had three goals or more, both teams scored in 52.7%, and 26.2% were draws.
Leagues sit a long way from that average:
| League | Goals | Corners | Yellows | Over 2.5 | Both scored | Draws |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bundesliga | 3.18 | 9.74 | 3.89 | 61.0% | 60.1% | 24.9% |
| Eredivisie | 3.06 | 10.25 | 2.99 | 59.1% | 56.5% | 24.2% |
| Premier League | 2.93 | 10.33 | 3.79 | 56.6% | 55.3% | 23.9% |
| Scottish Premiership | 2.78 | 10.62 | 3.77 | 53.7% | 50.8% | 23.9% |
| Primeira Liga | 2.65 | 9.90 | 5.30 | 51.0% | 49.3% | 24.8% |
| Serie A | 2.61 | 9.35 | 4.21 | 48.9% | 51.4% | 27.2% |
| La Liga | 2.59 | 9.50 | 4.76 | 47.4% | 51.8% | 26.2% |
| Greek Super League | 2.54 | 8.79 | 5.06 | 48.3% | 47.2% | 26.3% |
| Serie B | 2.47 | 9.61 | 4.99 | 45.1% | 53.1% | 32.0% |
Germany scores the most. The Scottish Premiership has the most corners, the Primeira Liga the most yellow cards, and Serie B the most draws. A tip that ignores the league isn’t worth much, which is why every league page on this site starts with its own numbers.
Five rules for reading any tip
- Look at the price behind the pick. Teams the bookmakers rated 75% or better to win did win 83.7% of the time across 1,606 matches. That sounds safe until you notice that a loss or a draw still came one match in six.
- Be careful with the draw. More than one match in four is drawn, and the share rises to about 30% when the two teams are evenly matched and the goals are expected to be low.
- Don’t combine many picks. On days when the strongest favourite was rated 65% or better, it won 80.8% of the time. The two strongest both won 66.6% of the time, and the top three 55.0%. Each pick you add costs you more than it seems.
- Match the bet to the league. Over 2.5 landed in 61% of Bundesliga matches and 47% of La Liga matches. A good over tip in Germany can be an ordinary one in Spain.
- Check the team news yourself. A tip published in the morning can’t know a striker was ruled out at lunchtime.
Mistakes people keep making
The commonest is backing the same type of pick every day without looking at the league or the price. A habit isn’t a strategy, and the figures above show how much the starting point changes from one competition to the next.
The next is treating “safe” tips as certainties. A pick that wins 80% of the time loses one in five, and a long losing run of favourites is rare but not impossible. In our data the longest run of 75%-plus favourites failing to win, out of 1,606, was four in a row.
The third is chasing losses. The only protection is a limit you set before the day’s first kick-off and don’t change.
Five minutes with this site
If you’re new here, start with the type of tip you already understand. Read that page’s first two sections, look at the league rates, and check the rules and mistakes near the bottom. Then look at today’s table with a clear idea of what an ordinary result looks like in that league.
If you’d rather browse by day, the tomorrow page and the weekend page gather everything for those dates. The league pages cover one competition each, with its own goals, corners and cards.
Where football is played
Almost three quarters of all matches in these leagues (73.2%) are on a Saturday or Sunday. That matters for planning, because the weekend tables are long and the midweek ones are short. On the pages for tomorrow and the weekend, the tips are grouped by the day they’re played.
Questions people ask
Are these tips free? Yes. You can read every page on this site without paying or signing up.
Where do the tips in the table come from? An outside prediction provider supplies the table and we show it as published. The articles on the page are ours.
Are the tips certain? No. Nobody can know a football result in advance, and a site that says it can is selling something.
Which bet type is the safest? Double chance lands most often, but it pays the least. Home win or draw came in 69.6% of matches across the data, and either side winning in 73.9%.
Which league has the most goals? The Bundesliga, at 3.18 per match, followed by the Eredivisie at 3.06.
What time are matches in Nigeria? Nigeria is on West Africa Time, one hour ahead of UTC all year. Check the kick-off time shown in the table against that before you plan around a match, because European clocks change in March and October and ours don’t.
Where do I start? Pick one bet type and learn it. The pages for corners, over and under 2.5 and double chance are good first stops.
Tips are estimates and never promises. You have to be 18 or over to bet, and a stake should never be money you need.
