This page covers KickoffScore's 1X2 predictions for today and the rest of the week, updated before every matchday and based on real match data, not guesswork. Whether you are new to 1X2 betting or already follow it closely, you will find daily tips, the data behind them, and links to value bets and deeper stats.
What Does 1X2 Mean?
1X2 is one of the most common football betting markets: you are picking one of three possible results in a single match. "1" means the home team wins, "X" means the match ends in a draw, and "2" means the away team wins. If a match finishes 2-1 to the home side, the 1 wins; if it ends 1-1, the X wins; and if the away team takes it 0-2, the 2 wins. That's 1X2 betting in its simplest form: three possible outcomes, and you back exactly one of them. Because you are backing only one outcome rather than two, 1X2 odds are usually higher than those for a Double Chance bet on the same match, but the bet only wins under one specific result. If you would rather cover two of these three outcomes at once instead of committing to just one, that is Double Chance rather than 1X2. If you want to approach the same fixture through handicap lines rather than a three-way result, see our Asian Handicap predictions.
How We Select 1X2 Predictions
Looking for a data-based 1X2 football prediction rather than a coin flip? Our 1X2 betting tips start with each team's recent form, separate home and away results, and head-to-head history, since some matchups produce a clear favourite far more often than others regardless of current form. League context matters too: some competitions produce lopsided results more often than others, which can affect the value of a home or away win on a given matchday. We also compare our own estimated probability for each outcome with the bookmaker's odds, and when our number is clearly higher, that gap usually shows up as a value bet on the predictions table. This is the same process behind every 1X2 tip on this site, whether the match looks one-sided or genuinely open.
1X2 Predictions for Today
Our 1X2 predictions for today are ranked by estimated probability, so the strongest picks sit at the top of the table, along with kickoff time and the live score for each match. You can filter by 1, X, or 2 to focus on the outcome you're interested in, and any pick flagged as a value bet is marked directly in the table. All of our free 1X2 tips update automatically throughout the day as new fixtures are added.

FAQ
What's the difference between 1X2 and Double Chance?
1X2 is also known as a 3-way bet or three-way betting market: you pick one of three results rather than two. Double Chance goes the other way, covering two of those three outcomes in a single bet, for example 1X for a home win or a draw. Because it covers more ground, Double Chance usually carries lower odds than a straight 1X2 bet.
Do 1X2 predictions cover extra time or penalties?
No. Standard 1X2 bets are normally settled on the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, and extra time or penalty shootouts do not count unless the bookmaker's rules state otherwise. A match that is level after 90 minutes settles as a draw for 1X2 purposes even if one team goes on to win in extra time or on penalties.
How do I find value in 1X2 tips?
Compare our estimated probability for each outcome with the odds on offer. When our estimated probability is clearly higher than the probability implied by the bookmaker's odds, that selection gets flagged as a value bet on the predictions table. Checking the 1X2 value bets page regularly is the simplest way to find these value bets early.
