Football Predictions This Week: July 13 - July 19, 2026
A Packed Week of Football Across Europe and Beyond
From the early rounds of European club competition to a pair of blockbuster World Cup clashes, the week of July 13–19, 2026 delivers wall-to-wall football action. Our AI has crunched the numbers across 30 matches spanning Allsvenskan, the Champions League, Europa Conference League, and the World Cup. Here's what the forecasts are telling us.
Monday: Djurgården Set the Tone
The week opens with Djurgården vs Halmstad in Allsvenskan on Monday, July 13. Our model gives Djurgården a 68% home win probability and forecasts a 2-0 victory, backed by a confidence rating of 59/100. This is one of the cleaner domestic predictions of the week — at home, Djurgården look well-positioned to pick up three points against a Halmstad side given only a 12% chance of causing an upset.
Tuesday: European Qualifying Begins — and France Meet Spain
Tuesday is the biggest day of the week by volume, with a dozen Champions League first-round ties kicking off alongside a Conference League fixture and one of the most anticipated World Cup group-stage matches of the summer.
Among the European qualifiers, a few fixtures stand out. Shamrock Rovers vs Floriana and Larne vs Tre Fiori both carry identical forecasts — 2-0 home wins, each with a 72% home probability and confidence scores of 69/100 and 67/100 respectively. These represent two of the week's most reliable-looking predictions.
Levski Sofia vs Borac Banja Luka is another high-confidence call, with our model forecasting a 2-0 home win, a 63% home probability, and a confidence rating of 64/100. Levski enter as clear favourites in that tie.
Not all Tuesday qualifiers are so clear-cut, however. FC Iberia 1999 vs Flora is essentially a coin flip — home probability sits at just 51% — while Drita vs Kauno Žalgiris is the most open match of the day, with Drita given a 40% chance at home, the draw at 28%, and the visitors at 32%. Our model predicts a 1-0 home win, but at a confidence level of only 52/100, this is very much one to treat with caution.
Going against the home side in two Tuesday qualifiers, the model predicts The New Saints to lose 0-1 to Sabah (Away: 56%) and UNA Strassen to beat La Fiorita in the Conference League (Away: 56%, confidence: 63/100).
Then there's the match everyone has circled: France vs Spain in the World Cup. Our AI forecasts a 2-1 France victory, but the probabilities tell the real story of uncertainty — France at 40%, the draw at 28%, and Spain at 32%. With a confidence score of just 55/100, this is a match where the model is nudging towards France but freely acknowledging how fine the margins are. A European heavyweight clash at a World Cup is precisely the kind of game where anything can happen.
Wednesday: England vs Argentina — The Match of the Week
If France vs Spain is the marquee Tuesday fixture, England vs Argentina on Wednesday, July 15 is arguably the match of the entire week — and our AI is almost reluctant to call it. The forecast is a 1-1 draw, with England at 34%, the draw at 30%, and Argentina at 36%. The confidence score of just 32/100 is the lowest of any match this week, which says everything about how genuinely unpredictable this fixture is. Consider this one firmly in the "anything goes" category.
Wednesday also brings several Champions League qualifiers. Universitatea Craiova vs ML Vitebsk is one of the week's stronger home predictions — a 3-1 forecast, 70% home probability, and 67/100 confidence. Sutjeska vs Kairat flips the script, with Kairat given a 49% away win probability and a 1-2 forecast (confidence: 61/100). Atert Bissen vs KÍ similarly favours the away side, with KÍ holding a 48% probability and the model predicting a 1-2 away win.
In the Conference League, Dečić vs Liepāja is the most evenly balanced fixture of the mid-week slate — home at 36%, draw at 27%, away at 37% — making it genuinely difficult to call.
Thursday: Conference League Round-Up
Thursday's Europa Conference League schedule offers a range of forecasts. At the confident end of the spectrum, Levadia vs Caernarfon Town stands out with a 2-0 home prediction, a 72% home probability, and the week's joint-highest confidence score of 70/100. Pyunik vs Marsaxlokk is nearly as clear — 2-0 forecast, 68% home probability, 67/100 confidence.
St Josephs FC vs Bohemians is predicted to go the other way entirely, with Bohemians given a 65% away win probability and a 0-2 scoreline forecast at 66/100 confidence — one of the more decisive away predictions of the week.
Elsewhere on Thursday, Astana vs Dinamo City (60% home, confidence 63/100) and Ilves vs Differdange 03 (58% home, confidence 63/100) both favour the home side without being overwhelming forecasts. Torpedo Kutaisi vs Zira is a slight away lean, with Zira at 38% and the model predicting a 1-2 — but confidence of 57/100 keeps this firmly in "competitive" territory.
Summary
This week's football landscape is shaped by two contrasting stories: a set of European qualifying ties where home advantage is significant and the model forecasts several clear home wins with reasonable confidence, and two extraordinary World Cup fixtures — France vs Spain and England vs Argentina — where even the most sophisticated analysis struggles to separate the sides. Our most confident predictions of the week point towards Levadia, Shamrock Rovers, Larne, and Levski Sofia in their respective ties, while the England vs Argentina clash at just 32/100 confidence remains the ultimate wildcard. It promises to be a thrilling seven days of football.
