Score predictions for all 8 matches of the round “Round of 16” (Wednesday, 9 December 2026), calculated for Kicktipp’s standard 4/3/2 scoring. For each match we show the tip with the most expected points, not the most likely score.
Cup tips: The result after 90 minutes counts – extra time and penalty shoot-outs do not count on Kicktipp. This means a draw tip is possible in a knockout match too.

How the cup tips are made
If both teams play in the same league, the calculator uses their home and away strength from the current league season. When teams from different leagues meet, their goals are not comparable – so the betting odds count, if there are any. Without odds the estimate stays deliberately cautious: a slight home advantage and, where the difference in level is known, a few more goals for the higher-division team. The expected goals give a probability for every score from 0:0 to 6:6, and the expected points under 4/3/2 are calculated for every tip.
If your prediction game scores differently or awards double points in the cup, set it up in the Kicktipp calculator (scoring rule, joker, round multiplier).
