Live football predictions, explained
CheckLive · Guide
CheckLive live football predictions are the model’s pick on a match, published while the game is being played. Here is what the card shows, how a live prediction differs from a pre-match one, and where to see attacking pressure.
In short
A live prediction is the CheckLive model’s pick on the outcome of a match, published during the game. If the model publishes a new prediction, it replaces the previous one. All matches with live predictions are on the Live Predictions page.
How it differs from a pre-match prediction
Today’s prediction is given before kick-off and is built on three metrics: form, quality and mental strength. A live prediction is published during the game. So the two can differ, and that is expected: they are two different predictions, made at different times.
How to read the card
On the Live Predictions page, every match has its own card:
- the league, the minute, the teams and the score;
- the outcome the latest published prediction points to: “Team to win” or “Draw”;
- the odds at the time the prediction was published;
- “Awaiting live prediction” until a prediction is published; “Live prediction unavailable” means no prediction or update is available right now;
- after the final whistle, the LIVE mark (the prediction was given in play) and the result: “Won”, “Missed” or “Refund”; “Awaiting settlement” until it is settled.
Above the list: how many matches are live now and how many of today’s predictions won. The Finished tab lists past predictions by day, each day with an “N/M” tally.
Where to see the prediction and the pressure
The live prediction is shown on the Live Predictions page, with the minute and score on the card. The card links to the match page, where the CheckMomentum chart shows who is pressing during the game. It is a separate measure: it explains the game and does not recalculate the live prediction.

What a live prediction does not do
It is not a guarantee and not betting advice. The model gets things wrong, and you can see it: past predictions and their results are open in the Finished tab. The odds next to it are a reference at the time of publishing, not a promise of a payout. CheckLive does not take bets. 18+.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no live prediction on my match?
Not every match has one, and it does not appear straight away. Until a prediction is published, the card says “Awaiting live prediction”. “Live prediction unavailable” means no prediction or update is available right now.
How is it different from today’s prediction?
Today’s prediction is given before kick-off, while a live prediction is published during the game, so the two can differ.
Where can I see past results?
On the Live Predictions page, in the Finished tab.
Are these live betting tips?
No. It is the CheckLive model’s read of the game, not advice to bet: the decision and the risk are yours. 18+.
Is it free?
Yes. The Live Predictions page is open without registration.
