Pre-match Strategies
Pre-match Statistics
Pre-match statistics are an excellent tool for analyzing team behavior over the last 5 or 10 games. We can determine the percentage of wins in the last 5 games, the average goals scored in the last 10 games, the average goals conceded in the last 5 games, and many other statistics.
Pre-match statistics aggregate data from the last 5 or 10 games of the teams, which can be categorized as:
- Played at Home: Data from the last games played at home
- Played Away: Data from the last games played away
- Overall: Data from the last games regardless of the venue
Warning: It's not possible to analyze the last individual game or a specific number of games.
These statistics group data chronologically from the last games across all leagues and championships. We are working to soon release statistics that specifically reflect a single league or championship.
The tooltip of the Form statistic in the Live Dashboard presents pre-match statistics. As you can see in the tooltip, the indications Home and Away refer to the teams in the current game and not the positions of past games.
The Match goals (Totals in the tooltip), Goals conceded, and Goals Scored statistics in the tooltip present specific values from the last 5 and 10 games of the home and away teams. When defining rules for pre-match statistics for your strategy, the values presented depend on the Team selection in rule creation. The meaning of each of these statistics is:
- Match goals: Presents the average sum of goals from both teams in the last 5 or 10 games
- Goals conceded: Presents the average of goals conceded in the last 5 or 10 games
- Goals Scored: Presents the average of goals scored in the last 5 or 10 games
Regarding the definition of Values in the rules, you must be aware that all pre-match statistics are either Percentages or Averages. Therefore, when defining values for the rules with:
- Statistics in percentages: You must define integer values between 0 and 100 (except when using the Team Sum of Teams (Total), which requires defining a value between 0 and 200).
- Statistics with averages: You must define decimal values, e.g., 2.4, 0.5, 3.9.
Strategies that include only pre-match rules and/or pre-match odds issue alerts up to 15 minutes before the game starts when all rules are met. Greater flexibility in defining time and new features will be introduced soon with the introduction of our new Pre-match Alerts tool.
