There are two points where this may be similar to haram action:

  • Gambling as betting for money or similar is haram.
  • Soothsaying or pretending to know the future is haram.

We need to make assumptions on our future every day, based on experience even if it is just a certain probability. This applies to all probability forecast. An example for halal forecast: weather forecast Such kind of forecast is halal.

It's halal if you sit together with friends before a match and exchange your guess (without any agreement that if someone is right he would get something, which would be gambling), not pretending to really know (which would be foretelling)
