Will, would + have + v3

Just look at the time. The match will have finished.

Does here 'will + have + verb(3rd form)' bear the sense that it's being assumed (if not with a certainty) the match already is over?


And, what's the difference between the following two?

I called you at six because I thought you would have got home by then.

I called you at six because I thought you had got home by then.
