Online sports bettors require many resources to be successful, and they go far beyond luck. The most important thing in betting is having access to the latest information. Without it, you’re on the road to losses and frustration.

You already know Flashscore is the home of quick and accurate results on football, tennis, basketball, and other major sports. But there’s much more going on than the latest scoreline. 

Flashscore has everything you need for successful betting – including head-to-head stats, player stats, form, and standings. All the key information is just a simple tap away on the match that interests you. Let's go through all the useful stuff you can find there as a bettor.

Match odds with change indicators

Betting is a long-distance game where every small advantage matters. And placing bets at odds that aren't the highest on the market is definitely an unnecessary waste of money. Fortunately, on Flashscore, you can instantly see odds from several bookmakers – once you've picked your match, don't forget to check where you can get the best value for your bet.

Flashscore not only shows the latest match betting odds – we also highlight any movement in the odds with arrows signifying if a price has gone up or down. Why does that matter? Well, changes in odds can happen for several reasons.

If the odds are drifting, the bookmaker may have got wind of a problem with a team, such as an injury or an important player left out of the squad. If the odds shorten, it can mean a bookmaker now fancies a selection more strongly or a pick has been attracting support in the market. The odds won’t tell you why the change has happened, but will tell a story.

Match preview

Here at Flashscore, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality and impartial match previews on the leagues and teams you love the most. 

Previews include hot stats and streaks, key players to watch in a game or tournament, and names set to miss out due to injury or suspension. There are also pre-match predictions and betting tips based on our modern, updated, and concise data analysis.

Injuries & suspensions

Another feature of Flashscore that’s vitally important when researching your picks is the latest injury list and news of any suspensions. 

Avoid the frustration of spending time analysing a match and finding a first scorer bet only to find out your preferred player won’t take part due to injury or suspension.

The injuries section at Flashscore shows which names will miss the game. The data is up-to-date and correct. Knowing the absentees will help you whittle down the field and, hopefully, arrive at a strong prediction.

Quick team form overview

We know your time is valuable, and we try to make sure you can analyse matches as quickly as possible. That's why every match comes with a highlighted, simple overview of both teams’ form, showing which has been winning and which is stuck in a fixture pile-up. 

Flashscore’s team form at-a-glance instantly puts you in the picture, thanks to our colour coding - green = win, orange = draw, and red = loss.

If you enjoy following the form, you can use Flashscore’s quick team and form overview to spot patterns and trends, including a run of draws or victories for the team playing at home. You’d then use your findings to spot a strong bet. 

Head-to-head results

When betting on football, I lean heavily on the head-to-head stats. You’d be surprised how often fixtures follow a trend. It may be a team winning, a player scoring, or both teams to score. It’s easy to find when using the H2H tab.

Scroll to near the bottom of the page of any fixture, past the form overview, and you’ll see the head-to-head. Above, you’ll notice there have been over 2.5 goals in two of the last three matches involving Man City and Wolves, and both teams scored in those two matches.

Important note: Don't forget that our data goes way back, and H2H matches from 2005 don't really tell you much anymore.

Table/standings

Quickly check how teams are faring in a competition with the latest standings at Flashscore. They’re up-to-date, official, and extremely helpful.

Understanding the table also means you know what both teams are playing for and if one will have more motivation to win than their opponent.
