Four participants jointly topped the leaderboard after Matchday 3, each receiving a £250 cash reward for their impressive performance.

The free-to-play World Cup match predictor has now reached Round 4, and FourFourTwo has confirmed that the Round 3 winners have been announced. Each of the four winners successfully predicted 18 out of 24 results, earning a £250 share of the £1,000 prize pool. The deadline to take part in Round 4 is 8pm tomorrow evening. Entry remains completely free, with genuine cash prizes available for winners.

As the competition moves into the knockout phase, the challenge intensifies. Participants must now forecast which nations will advance, along with — as a tie-breaker — the total number of goals scored in normal time (excluding extra-time and penalties) across eight Round of 32 fixtures.

FourFourTwo extends appreciation to sponsors BOYLE Sports for continuing to provide the cash prize, which is refreshed for every new round. Additionally, BOYLE Sports offers a free £5 bet to everyone who submits a set of predictions. All that’s required is a BOYLE Sports account — players should keep their account number ready when entering predictions. The free bet will be credited within 48 hours after the deadline and will remain valid for seven days.

If you’re eager to join the competition, Round 4 is now open for predictions but will close at 8pm TOMORROW. Even after that, there are four more rounds to play — meaning four more opportunities to win the £1,000 prize pool and four more £5 free bets to claim.
