Football Predictions

Football is ScoresLive's most comprehensive prediction category, covering over 200 competitions across six continents. The win probability model for football is built on five data inputs: bookmaker consensus odds updated every 30 seconds, each team's form across the last five matches weighted by recency, head-to-head records segmented by home and away venues, venue-specific home advantage coefficients, and expected goals (xG) data from verified statistics providers.

Football cards are the only sport on ScoresLive to carry predicted match statistics alongside the win probability. For matches where sufficient historical data exists, each card shows the predicted final score, predicted corners per team, predicted yellow cards per team and a predicted red card indicator. These projections use the referee's season booking rate, each team's season average fouls and yellows, and xG-adjusted attacking and defensive strength ratings.

Football coverage spans the major European leagues, all three UEFA club competitions and domestic top flights worldwide, down to second-tier divisions where bookmaker odds are available. International fixture coverage includes World Cup qualification, continental championships and the major regional cup competitions.

Cricket Predictions

Cricket prediction methodology accounts for the unique complexity of the format. For T20 matches, the model processes recent batting and bowling form across the last ten T20 fixtures, the venue's average first innings total updated after every match at that ground, pitch condition reports where available, and the head-to-head record specifically in T20 cricket. For ODI and Test cricket the same inputs apply but weighting shifts heavily toward batting depth and starting XI quality.

IPL coverage includes every group stage and knockout fixture from the point odds open. The Hundred, Big Bash League, SA20 and Caribbean Premier League are also covered. Win probability updates live during the match based on the current run rate against the par score model.

Tennis Predictions

Tennis prediction accuracy depends heavily on surface performance, and ScoresLive's model splits each player's win percentage by surface type. A player with a strong hard court record but a weak clay record will have their probability adjusted accordingly when the tournament surface changes. Head-to-head records are also weighted by surface, so a rivalry played predominantly on grass is treated differently to one split evenly across surfaces.

Additional inputs include current form over the last eight matches, ranking trajectory over the past 26 weeks, first-serve percentage, return game win percentage, and a physical load indicator based on days since last match and rounds contested in the previous event. All four Grand Slams, Masters 1000, ATP 500 and WTA Premier events are fully covered.

Basketball Predictions

NBA predictions incorporate net rating (combined offensive and defensive efficiency differential per 100 possessions), pace of play, home court advantage adjusted per arena, and rest day differentials since back-to-back fatigue is a quantifiable factor in NBA performance. Moneyline, spread and total points lines from leading licensed bookmakers are shown on every card.

EuroLeague and FIBA international competitions receive the same treatment with competition-specific recalibrations. In European basketball the home court advantage coefficient is substantially larger than in the NBA, which is reflected in how probabilities are calculated for knockout fixtures.

Ice Hockey Predictions

NHL predictions use Corsi (shot attempt differential at 5v5) and Fenwick percentage as the primary possession metrics alongside goals for and against per 60 minutes. Goaltender save percentage over the last 20 games is a major input because NHL results are heavily influenced by goaltending variance. The model also accounts for the back-to-back schedule effect, which in the NHL is pronounced due to travel across multiple time zones.

KHL and Swedish Hockey League coverage uses adjusted metrics where possession data is less granular. European championship and World Championship fixtures are included for all 12 months of the season.

MMA Predictions

MMA win probability calculation is more complex than team sports because each bout involves two athletes with entirely different skill sets. ScoresLive's MMA model uses a multi-dimensional fighter profile tracking striking accuracy and output, takedown accuracy and defence rate, submission attempt rate, knockout percentage and win streak trajectory. The model then applies a style matchup coefficient: a high-output striker with weak takedown defence facing an elite wrestler will have their probability adjusted downward relative to their raw striking record.

UFC main card and preliminary card coverage is complete, with odds updated from open through to fight week as late changes such as injuries or weight misses impact the consensus. Bellator and ONE Championship coverage is included for all major events.

Darts Predictions

PDC darts prediction inputs include each player's three-dart average over the last 20 competitive legs, 180 rate, first nine darts average (the strongest indicator of a player in form), checkout percentage on doubles, and their record specifically at the venue being used. In major events such as the World Championship or the Premier League, venue-specific performance history adds a measurable edge for certain players.

Premier League Darts, PDC World Championship, World Matchplay, Grand Prix and World Grand Prix are all covered from the first round draw. Form-based probabilities adjust weekly as players compete in ranking events between television tournaments.

Golf Predictions

Golf outright and head-to-head predictions use the Official World Golf Ranking as the baseline, then apply course-fit adjustments based on the profile of each course versus each player's strengths. A player who ranks highly in driving distance but struggles with accuracy will be rated lower at a tight, tree-lined course than their ranking alone would suggest. A precision iron player who putts well will be rated higher at a traditional links course where ball-striking and course management dominate.

PGA Tour, DP World Tour, LIV Golf and all four Major championships are covered. Major championship coverage includes ten years of historical data to identify long-form Major specialists whose regular tour form understates their ability on the biggest stage.

Boxing Predictions

Boxing prediction methodology accounts for the stylistic nature of the sport. Beyond basic record and KO percentage, the model considers reach and height differentials, punch output per round, punch landing percentage, the trainer's tactical tendencies, and the weight division's historical knockout rate versus decision rate. A bout between two high-output brawlers in lightweight carries a very different probability profile to a heavyweight clash between a puncher and a technical counter-puncher.

World title fight coverage spans all four major governing bodies (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO). Regional and continental title bouts are included where bookmaker odds are available.

Esports Predictions

Esports prediction data is sourced from official tournament APIs and verified match history platforms. For CS2, the model uses each team's recent map win percentage per individual map, round win percentage on T and CT sides separately, pistol round conversion rate, and ELO rating trajectory over the last 90 days. Map veto patterns are factored in when the pool is known, giving a significant prediction edge in best-of-three matches.

For League of Legends and Dota 2, the model incorporates patch version adjustments because meta shifts can substantially alter team strengths. CS2 Major coverage, League of Legends Worlds, LEC, LCS, Dota 2 International and Valorant Champions Tour are all covered from group stages through to grand finals.

Horse Racing Predictions

Horse racing predictions are built from the most complete form data available in the sport. Each runner's rating derives from their official handicap rating, last three performance figures relative to race class, going preference (heavy, soft, good, firm) compared to forecast going at the track, course-and-distance record, draw bias at that course over the last three seasons, and trainer and jockey combination performance statistics.

Daily coverage spans major flat and jumps meetings, including festival and feature cards, and all major weekend fixtures. International coverage includes the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, the Breeders' Cup and major Australian and Dubai fixtures.

Handball Predictions

EHF Champions League handball predictions incorporate attack efficiency (goals scored per possession), defence efficiency (goals conceded per possession), fast break conversion rate, goalkeeper save percentage over the current season, and home advantage coefficients which are among the largest in team sports due to the intensity of major handball arenas.

German Bundesliga, Spanish ASOBAL, French Starligue and SEHA League coverage supplement the Champions League with domestic competition. World Championship and European Championship coverage includes tournament-specific model adjustments for the compressed schedule format.

Motorsport Predictions

Formula 1 prediction methodology uses constructor performance data per track type (street circuit, permanent circuit, high-speed, high-downforce), driver qualifying pace relative to teammate over the last ten races, strategic pit stop and tyre compound modelling, and weather probability inputs for wet and dry race conditions. Qualifying predictions are shown separately from race predictions with different model weights applied because F1 results are heavily influenced by starting position.

MotoGP coverage uses track-specific rider form data and tyre supplier inputs. World Rally Championship predictions incorporate surface type, stage characteristics and manufacturer allocation models. All F1 race weekends from Free Practice 2 onwards are covered, as are all MotoGP rounds and WRC events.
