Move over football pundits – Heart Breakfast is looking for a brand-new team of furry forecasters ahead of the World Cup!

Over the years we've seen animals make some surprisingly accurate sporting predictions, from psychic octopuses to football-loving felines. Now we're on a mission to discover whether the UK's pets have what it takes to predict this year's biggest football results.

Does your dog have a nose for a winner? Is your cat secretly a football genius? Could your rabbit, hamster, parrot or even tortoise spot the next World Cup shock before the experts do?

We're looking for pet predictors from across the country to take part in a series of fun World Cup forecasts.

Whether they pick a winner by choosing a bowl of treats, selecting a toy, sitting next to a flag or using their own unique method, we want to see it!

So if you think your pet has hidden football forecasting talents, Heart Breakfast wants to hear from you.

Please fill out the form below, telling us your name, your pet's name, their species, and what outcome they predict out of these games. Either a winner, or a draw:

• Mexico vs South Africa (11th June)
• Netherlands vs Japan (14th June)
• France vs Senegal (16th June)
• Czechia vs South Africa (18th June)
• Uruguay vs Cabo Verde (21st June)

We'll be in touch to hear more about your pet, and you may even appear on Heart Breakfast!

Will the next great World Cup predictor be a Labrador from Leeds, a cat from Cardiff or a guinea pig from Glasgow? There's only one way to find out!

Get involved and let your pet take their shot at World Cup glory.
