I don't think it was ever said, but a couple of speculations have 
been made.  First, that they somehow can time travel.  This brings 
up the question about the device Hermione used in PoA and could it 
be used to travel in the future.  The twins certainly are 
resourceful and powerful wizards.  They may have stumbled upon 
something in their many experimentations.  Or, they may have 
connections with someone who can either time travel or see the 
future.

Second, some have posted a hypothesis about Ron being a seer.  What 
if one or both twins were seers?  Could they foresee something as 
specific as the result of a world cup match?  Being identical twins, 
could their powers be combined in ways that make them more powerful?

I don't know of any other ideas but certainly would be open to 
them.  From the two mentioned, I would have to lean more toward the 
first.
