How it works
How we make previews and recaps
Every preview and recap on ScoreAssist is written by AI from match data. Here is what it reads, how we check it, and what these texts are not.
Updated November 7, 2026
What the AI reads
Previews, before the match
- Recent results, and home and away form
- Past meetings of the two sides
- The league table and rest days between matches
- Injured and suspended players
- Player and team statistics from our data providers
- Bookmakers' odds before kick-off, as one more sign of how the match is rated
Under each preview you see the data it used. When the data is thin, that list is shorter and the preview says what we do not know.
Recaps, after the match
- The final score, goals, cards and substitutions
- Match statistics: possession, shots and more
- Line-ups and player ratings
- The league table after the match
How we check the texts
Checks run automatically before a text goes live. A text that fails them is not published: it is written again or dropped.
Wording
We scan every text in every language for wording that does not belong in it: promises of a result, calls to bet, talk of bookmakers and odds. A preview may not show a percentage either.
Names and numbers
Names and figures in a recap are checked against the match data. Past scores in a preview are checked against its data, and a predicted score is not allowed. A translation is checked to keep the team and player names of the original.
A second look
When the scan would reject a phrase, a second AI check reads it in context. It can clear a false alarm, but it cannot let through anything we ban outright.
People
One of us reads a sample of published texts and every passage the checks flagged, and we fix what we find.
After the match
For football previews we record how likely the AI rated each outcome. After the final whistle we compare that with the result and with bookmakers' odds, and we use the comparison to make previews better.
We do not publish an accuracy figure yet: there are too few matches to say anything reliable. A past result says nothing about how the next match will end.
What these texts are not
- Not betting advice. What you do after reading is your own decision.
- Not a guarantee. A preview is analysis, and it can be wrong.
- For entertainment only, and for adults: 18+.
