What you'll find under this tag

We publish short, practical pieces that tell you what matters before kick-off: probable lineups, injury updates, key player battles, form and a straight prediction. For example, read our Arsenal striker transfer piece to understand how squad moves affect goalscoring options, or check the Wolves vs Brentford report for a match recap and what it meant for European places. We also cover internationals and club competitions like the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Women’s Champions League.

Want local league updates? We cover Serie A, Bundesliga, MLS, La Liga and African football news that affects matchday outcomes. Need a quick primer for a big game? Look for posts that highlight the single stat that will decide the match—clean sheets, set-piece danger, or form over the last five games.

How to use these previews on matchday

Before kick-off, check three things: confirmed lineups, late injuries, and tactical setup. Lineups tell you who will start; injuries show which areas are weak; formation hints at whether a team will attack or sit back. For example, Tottenham’s lineup changes can shift how they press; Inter Milan’s injury list often decides whether they control the game or struggle to score.

If you follow live, use our prediction and preview posts to set expectations. We flag key players to watch—like Ivan Toney for Brentford or Ademola Lookman when Atalanta need a breakthrough. For North American fixtures, our Inter Miami previews explain how Messi’s role changes results. For fans betting or fantasy-managing, focus on minutes played and set-piece duties rather than headline scorers alone.

Streaming and viewing tips: check kick-off times in your time zone and any local broadcast notes in the preview. Many posts include streaming hints or where highlights will appear. If weather or travel might affect a match, we point that out because it can change the game plan quickly.

Follow-up: after the final whistle, look for match reports that explain why the game went the way it did—tactical shifts, substitutions that mattered, or referee decisions that swung the result. Match reports help you learn patterns so you make better predictions next time.
