This is not correct. A prediction is about something unknown — maybe because it is in the future, or maybe because of some other reason.
The headline is well written and clear.

It is in fact correct. The correct word in re some fact claim is "speculate" or "conjecture". We predict that future observation will confirm the speculation. Tense matters. reply
