Squawka’s soccer predictions bring one process to every slate we cover: recent form, head-to-head where it exists, expected-goals output, squad availability, and the bet365 line versus the rest of the market. New to soccer betting? Our betting guides break down the main markets.
The club season sets the weekly rhythm. MLS is previewed game by game through the run to Decision Day on 7 November, Premier League and Champions League previews run alongside it through the European season, and international windows bring Canada’s own fixtures into the mix. Every preview opens with its best bets: a result pick, a score prediction and a call on the goals line, each with the bet365 price. Most add an anytime goalscorer, and the European previews add both teams to score.

Predictions by bet type
Each market has its own page, and each one explains how the bet settles, how we judge the line and which numbers matter most. They also carry a live list of the newest previews that include that call.
- Both Teams to Score predictions: BTTS Yes or No, called in our Premier League and Champions League previews.
- Anytime Goalscorer predictions: the scorer we back in most previews, judged on shots, penalty duty and the matchup.
- Correct Score predictions: the one scoreline we back in every preview, and why it pays so well.
- Over 2.5 Goals predictions: the goals line, Over or Under, in nearly every game we cover.
Key stats behind our predictions
Three points anchor every call. Recent form: we lean on the last six competitive results rather than friendlies, because friendlies tell you very little about competitive shape. Expected goals: xG for and against separates teams whose results have outrun their underlying numbers from teams creating better chances than the table suggests. Then availability. If a side’s first-choice striker or goalkeeper is missing from the team sheet, the line moves, and our pick moves with it.
The calendar changes how far any of those numbers can be trusted. Early in a European season, one lopsided result can carry a club’s whole goal difference, so the chances a side creates and concedes tell you more than the table does. Late in the MLS season the problem flips. The data is deep by then, but motivation and rotation start to matter as clubs clinch or miss out on playoff places.
How we make our predictions
Every pick starts from a full match preview, built on squad availability, this season’s club stats from the major European leagues plus MLS and Liga MX, head-to-head context where it exists and the live bet365 line at the time of writing. The pick we surface is the one where our read of the fixture parts company with the bet365 price. Not just “Arsenal to win” because Arsenal are the better team, but “Arsenal at -125” because we make them closer to -160 against this opponent. You can dig into the same player and team data yourself in our Comparison Matrix.
We do not chase parlay payouts, and we do not publish picks under three-star confidence. Markets move, though. The bet365 line in a preview is the one that was live at the time of writing, and the price you get can move either way before kickoff.
Soccer predictions FAQs
How often are these picks updated?
Every time a preview publishes. The list on this page pulls in the newest previews on its own, so a fresh MLS, Premier League or Champions League preview appears here as soon as it goes live. During international breaks the list fills with national-team fixtures instead.
Where does the bet365 line come from?
All odds are pulled live from bet365 at the time of writing. Bet365 is one of the licensed sportsbook operators in Ontario via iGaming Ontario, and runs a separate non-Ontario product for the rest of Canada. The line shown is the bet365 GB feed in American odds, the same data that powers the fixture odds widgets across Squawka. For the full picture, compare bet365 with the other best betting sites in Canada, including the newest betting sites.
Do you cover Toronto FC, CF Montréal and the Whitecaps?
Yes. All three are previewed every MLS matchday, and the MLS archive holds every one. Canada’s national team gets the same treatment in international windows.
Is bet365 the only operator you cover?
Bet365 is the line we anchor our picks against because the depth and stability of their international soccer book is the strongest of any operator available to Canadian bettors. Our bet365 Canada review covers the rest-of-Canada product and our bet365 Ontario review covers the AGCO-licensed Ontario product.
What does three-star confidence mean?
Three stars is our standard rating. It means the pick has cleared our internal value bar: our read of the true probability is clearly higher than the bet365 price implies, so the call is fit to publish. We do not publish below three stars. If a market does not clear the bar, we leave it out.
