5 Helpful Football Prediction Tips for Upcoming Football Matches
April 3, 2019
Do you love predicting football matches? Football prediction is not easy at all. Find out some useful tips on how to predict football match results.
1. Injury lists and team news
The first step to predicting a match result is to learn about the two teams. Researching about the team news is imperative in predicting the outcome of football matches. When you research, you become aware of vital data such as the players that are suspended, the weather report, managerial changes and injured players.
2. Head to Head
Finding out the Head to head records is another useful tip for predicting football matches. You can learn a lot about many matches from the recent times they have played with each other. For example, Barcelona has won only one match against Real Sociedad, away in their last eight matches. This information would tell you that Barcelona finds it difficult to beat Sociedad away.
3. Current form
Another factor to consider is the recent form of the team. In their last five, six or seven matches, how did they perform? How many did they draw, win or lose?
A football team that is on a good winning streak is most likely motivated to win a match. Of course, this doesn’t guarantee that they are sure to win, but it sure does give you an edge in making accurate football predictions.
4. Player quality
The next tip is to look at the player quality of each team. Find out which team has the better players, also whose players are in better form currently. Also, you can assess the strengths and weaknesses of each team by considering the player quality. Does team A have better defenders than the opposing team B? If yes, that means team A is most likely to concede fewer goals.
5. Energy levels
The energy levels of a team will help you determine if a team will do better than their opposing team. If a team has played many fixtures in a week, they could be tired? Are the players well rested? Did they rest their major players? Do they have an upcoming game that is significant? Analyzing such data will help you predict favorably.
There are many other things which you should take into account when making a football prediction. But the above tips on how to predict football matches will definitely help you.
