Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is the methodology used to prepare this forecast?

Our forecast is prepared through a comprehensive analysis of statistical data obtained from reliable sources such as Flashscore, Sofascore and Whoscored. Factors such as the teams' recent form, results from previous matches, goals scored and conceded, shots on goal, possession of the ball, numerical superiority, and the presence of injuries or key absences are evaluated. Rating systems are used to quantify the performance in attack, defense, form and motivation of each team.

Why is the victory of the Steel Foxes predicted?

The Steel Foxes' victory prediction is based on several factors. Firstly, their recent form, although inconsistent, is considerably better than that of the Kuznetsk Bears, who are going through a worrying losing streak. Additionally, the head-to-head history favors the Steel Foxes. The weakness shown by the Kuznetsk Bears at home and their current position in the table also contribute to this prediction. Our practical experience in sports analysis supports this conclusion.

What will happen if the Steel Foxes' victory prediction does not come true?

In the world of sports betting, there is always a margin of error and unexpected variables. If the prediction does not come true, it could be due to factors such as an exceptional performance by the Kuznetsk Bears, refereeing errors, or the appearance of unexpected injuries during the match. In case the prediction does not materialize, we recommend not getting carried away by frustration. It is important to remember that betting involves risk. It is advisable to diversify your bets, manage your bankroll responsibly and learn from each result to adjust future strategies.

How do you evaluate a team's form?

A team's form is assessed by analyzing its results in the last 5 to 10 matches. Wins, draws and losses are considered, as well as home and away performance. Metrics such as goals scored and conceded, shots on goal and ball possession are also taken into account to get a complete picture of your current playing status.

What does the team rating system (e.g.: 8/10) mean?

The team rating system is a numerical score from 1 to 10 that represents the evaluation of a team in different categories: Form, Attack, Defense and Motivation. A higher score indicates better performance or status in that specific category. For example, a rating of 8/10 in Attack suggests that the team has a very strong offensive capacity.

What are “main”, “safe” and “risk” bets?

The “top bet” is the strongest recommendation based on our analysis. The “safe bet” refers to an option with a higher probability of success, although the odds are lower. The “risk bet” (high odds) is an option with a lower probability of success but with a significantly higher profit potential, ideal for those seeking to maximize their returns by assuming greater risk.

Are xG (Expected Goals) analyzes included?

Yes, xG (Expected Goals) analysis is an important metric that is considered in our methodology. xG provides a measure of the quality of scoring opportunities created and conceded by a team, regardless of the final result of the match. This helps evaluate the underlying performance of the equipment.

What information is analyzed about injuries and possible lineups?

Available information on injuries and absences of key players is analyzed as this can have a significant impact on a team's performance. Possible lineups are also considered based on player trends and availability, although final lineups are only confirmed shortly before the match.

How is Flashscore, Sofascore and Whoscored data used?

These websites are primary sources of statistical data. We use them to collect detailed information about matches, including results, player statistics, possession trends, shots, and other performance indicators. These data are the basis of our quantitative analysis.

What happens if a match is suspended or postponed?

Policies on suspended or postponed matches vary by sportsbook. Generally, if a match is postponed and does not resume within a time period specified by the bookmaker (often 24 or 48 hours), bets are usually void and any money wagered is returned. If suspended and subsequently resumed, bets usually remain valid.
