Results roundup: 18 October 2026

Nottingham Forest – Arsenal: one goal was enough

Arsenal's 0:1 victory meant our X2 — Arsenal or draw — selection was successful. The original approach did not require the visitors to win comfortably: the condition was simply for Arsenal to avoid defeat in normal time.

A narrow away win illustrates why the selected market matters. We did not predict the exact 0:1 score or demand a particular winning margin. A draw would also have met the selection; Arsenal ultimately delivered the away victory.

Brighton – Crystal Palace: an emphatic 5:0

Brighton won 5:0, comfortably fulfilling our 1X — Brighton or draw — pick. That gave us a second successful selection in this roundup.

The margin should not be mistaken for something we predicted. Our original choice retained the draw and did not require five goals or a clean sheet. It is easy to suggest a straight home win after the result, but an honest review should evaluate the market actually selected before kick-off.

Bournemouth – Sunderland: another successful 1X

Bournemouth's 2:0 win over Sunderland completed the 3/3 record. Once again, the selection was 1X, covering a home victory or a draw.

There was no additional requirement for Bournemouth to score twice, lead at half-time or keep Sunderland out. Avoiding defeat was the condition. The final result met it, without us adding extra predictions to the record after the event.

What does 100% mean here?

It means all three picks in this specific October 18 selection were successful. It is not our website's all-time success rate, a return-on-investment figure or a promise about future games. This article records individual selection results; it does not verify anyone's stake or betting payout.

Double chance covers two possible outcomes, but it still carries risk. Short odds alone do not establish that a selection is safe. Our focus is to show the published pick alongside the final score, with a clear distinction between a successful review and a future guarantee.
