footie 5 is back! Predict 5 scores from across the leagues to win big with thepools.com

FORGET the start of video assistant referee, the end of drop-balls or goalkeepers glued to their lines – the biggest change of the football season is here!

Bookmakers thepools.com’s footie5 game is back, giving away £25,000 every Saturday to anyone who can correctly predict five fixtures. But this season, the game is BIGGER and BETTER than ever before.

Players can now select their five matches from across five leagues in England and Scotland. So that’s ANY of the 3pm Saturday fixtures taking place in the Premier League, Championship, English League One, Two and the Scottish Premiership.

This is the first time ever the free-to-play prediction game footie5 has given players the power to choose from so many matches. And it throws the weekly £25,000 jackpot prize open to thousands of club supporters up and down the land, from Arsenal to Accrington Stanley. To play, simply download the free app today and get guessing!

Fans of the Premier League might still like to select their games from the top tier, but now almost any team’s fixture is game. So if the English League Two is your thing, you can make all of your selections from there where you know your stuff. The same goes for fans of the Scottish Premiership who might prefer to use their insight to nail the right results. Or you can completely mix it up with a personalised acca of your own. As well as trying for the jackpot, you can also set up mini-leagues with your friends and family to prove who is the true football genius among you.

To start playing, download the footie5 app free to register, and once you’ve set up your account you’ll be presented with five fixtures taking place over the coming days. Also playing are pundit and former Tottenham Hotspur star Jermaine Jenas pitting his choices against England Hockey medallist and Liverpool fanatic Sam Quek. You can play alongside them both – or select your own fixtures to play and predict.

So, make your selections, hit ‘submit’ before 3pm each Saturday, and you can be in with a chance of winning a share of the weekly £25,000! You can keep up with the latest scores in real-time via the official footie5 app or via footie5.com.

So what are you waiting for? You could kickoff this season with a £25,000 windfall this Saturday – and it won’t even cost you a penny to play!
