future prediction
Anticipating coming events
Future prediction is forecasting what will happen—a redundant phrase since prediction already implies futurity.
The doubling adds emphasis or clarity in contexts where it might otherwise be ambiguous: The software's future prediction capabilities rely on machine learning.
Often the redundancy is unnecessary, and prediction alone suffices.
