Guessing what's next is the only way the brain knows how to play music. If you aren't hearing the music you want to play correctly, you cannot play it. A lot of music education gets things pretty messed up by ignoring this factor.
Highly relevant to all this is Hal Galper's approach to jazz education. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_7DgCrziI8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_7DgCrziI8

He’s just talking about developing a powerful aural imagination, just as excellent painters have to envision the scene they’re painting. That said, prediction certainly comes into play when you’re listening to someone else’s creation.
