The next Sportstake 8 draw closes on Saturday, 12 July 2025 at 15:30, and features a selection of fixtures from the Scottish League Cup and the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 tournament.
Sportstake 8 predictions: Monday, 14 July 2025
Players must correctly predict the outcome of both halves in each of the eight featured fixtures.
This means you are betting on the result of each half individually, not the full-time score. A reminder of the format:
- 1 = Home Win
- X = Draw
- 2 = Away Win
So, for example, if Team A leads 1-0 at half-time, and Team B scores two in the second half to win 1-2 overall, that fixture would be recorded as:
- First Half: 1 (Home Win)
- Second Half: 2 (Away Win)
Below are the detailed predictions for this round, using historical data and current form:
1. Stranraer FC vs Ross County – 12 July 2025 @ 16:00
Ross County have a dominant record in this fixture, with six wins from nine matches and an average of over four goals per match. Expect them to start fast but settle defensively in the second half.
- First Half Prediction: 1 – 2 (Away Win)
- Second Half Prediction: 1 – 1 (Draw)
2. Dundee FC vs Airdrieonians FC – 12 July 2025 @ 16:00
Historically even, but Dundee tend to start stronger at home. Airdrieonians, however, have shown resilience in the latter stages of matches.
- First Half Prediction: 1 – 0 (Home Win)
- Second Half Prediction: 0 – 1 (Away Win)
3. Clyde FC vs Motherwell FC – 12 July 2025 @ 16:00
Clyde have never beaten Motherwell, and with an average of 3.5 goals conceded per meeting, a routine away win is expected across both halves.
- First Half Prediction: 0 – 1 (Away Win)
- Second Half Prediction: 0 – 2 (Away Win)
4. Peterhead FC vs Greenock Morton – 12 July 2025 @ 16:00
A competitive fixture historically, but Morton’s form and experience could see them pull away in the second half after a tightly contested start.
- First Half Prediction: 1 – 1 (Draw)
- Second Half Prediction: 0 – 2 (Away Win)
5. Stirling Albion vs Hamilton Academical FC – 12 July 2025 @ 16:00
Despite a history of low-scoring encounters, Hamilton have the upper hand. Expect a cagey first half and a decisive goal late on.
- First Half Prediction: 0 – 0 (Draw)
- Second Half Prediction: 0 – 1 (Away Win)
6. Hearts of Midlothian vs Dunfermline Athletic – 12 July 2025 @ 18:15
With 18 wins in 31 matches, Hearts dominate this matchup. They’ll likely control the first half, while Dunfermline may push back after the break.
- First Half Prediction: 2 – 0 (Home Win)
- Second Half Prediction: 1 – 1 (Draw)
7. Poland Women vs Denmark Women – 12 July 2025 @ 21:00
Denmark hold the upper hand historically, with Poland yet to win in this pairing. Denmark’s pace should see them dominate early before Poland regains composure.
- First Half Prediction: 0 – 2 (Away Win)
- Second Half Prediction: 1 – 1 (Draw)
8. Sweden Women vs Germany Women – 12 July 2025 @ 21:00
Germany have won 11 of their last 16 matchups against Sweden. Recent form suggests they’ll press high and remain consistent across both halves.
- First Half Prediction: 1 – 2 (Away Win)
- Second Half Prediction: 0 – 1 (Away Win)
