Lineups
As a football fan, I’ve been there many times – and you too, in all probability. Patiently looking at your phone, refreshing the page for the confirmed lineups of both teams. It’s not because you want to be first with the info - although that’s always nice - it’s to help you call the result. Flashscore’s predicted lineups is a powerful tool and a great help for bettors.
The predicted lineups tab at Flashscore is nothing new, but we’ve extended it to cover more competitions and teams this season. They’re not 100% right all the time - we’re not the coaches - but they’re often spot on. That’s because we use a powerful combination of algorithms and the latest data. The predicted lineups are ideal for predicting any market, from match-winner to anytime scorers.
It’s not just the top names either. Flashscore doesn’t miss a trick. Czech goalkeeper Kinsky started for Premier League club Tottenham when the usual number one, Vicario, was injured. Kinsky appeared in all predicted lineups during his teammate's injury, but Flashscore was able to predict Vicario’s return to the exact game. Just one of many examples that give you an edge as a user.
Remember, the little details matter in modern betting, especially for players who don’t like to rely on luck.
Odds tab
So, you’ve studied the stats, learned the form, and checked out the predicted lineups for both teams. You decide on a bet and land a winner at 5/1. Great, right? Well, not if you could’ve got the same bet at odds of 10/1 simply by shopping around.
You can find the most common types of bets right in the match detail, but you’ll find more of them – and more bookmakers, too – in the Odds tab.
Don’t forget: You must pick a winner, but also do it at the best price. Flashscore’s odds tabs mean that it’s easier than ever. Check the latest odds on every popular market, including match-winner, totals, handicaps, goals, draw no bet, and others. You’ll always get the best odds when betting.
H2H tab
There’s much more going on under the H2H tab than you might think, and, for me, it’s one of the most powerful sections of the Flashscore platform.
Yes, you can analyse past meetings, looking for a trend or pattern that merits a bet. But there are also quick form summaries for both teams, allowing you to dig deeper than ever. That’s something I love to do before risking my hard-earned cash. I enjoy getting into the thick of the form, looking for a value bet or a trend. Flashscore makes that easy work.
See the recent form of both teams when playing at home or away. The H2H shows the last five meetings, or you can click to see more matches, taking your search back further in time, adding more weight to your picks. Click on any fixture from the H2H list and know the score, who scored, when they scored, the bookings, stats, substitutions and more.
Standings
I learned to read football form in my early 20s while working on the trading floor of a major UK bookmaker at their London head office. I also saw firsthand the number of potentially winning football bettors who overlooked the standings or didn’t pay enough attention. Don’t make the same mistake.
Flashscore has the latest league tables for an impressive list of countries and a wide range of competitions. How can you use the standings to improve your strikerate when betting on football? There’s much to learn in the leagues. The standings can sometimes be misleading, especially late in the season. Be sure to double-check the current form of both teams to see if they’re pushing hard or winding down.
You’ll know some teams perform better at home than on the road. Toggle between the home and away form before risking your stake. If you’re betting on goalscorers, there’s a tab with an updated list of the most prolific scorers in a competition.
Preview
If you’re looking for some guidance ahead of a big match, Flashscore has your back. We not only offer the latest stats, form, and league standings, but also previews and predictions from our team of experts.
Our football and sports previews highlight the most important stats, compare the form of both teams, show the form players, and use all that information to make a prediction. You can read our in-depth and impartial previews, take the pick, and place a bet at the best odds available. It’s all at Flashscore.
