We use the cannonball model of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and public data from the first day of observations of GRB 090618 to predict its X-ray and optical light curves until very late times, and, in particular, the emergence of a photometric and spectroscopic signature of an SN akin to SN1998bw in its optical afterglow with an anticipated peak brightness of magnitude {approx}23.2 in the R band around 2009 July 10, if extinction in the host galaxy can be neglected.
