Scores, goal times and match events update continuously while matches are in play, from the same licensed feed that supplies our fixtures and predictions. Where events for a match are not yet available from the provider, the section says so rather than showing a blank timeline.
There is a short delay between what happens on the pitch and what any data feed reports. No score service is instantaneous, and this one is not either.
Predictions on this site are published before kick-off and are not revised once a match starts. What you see on a fixture during play is the original pick and the original price, alongside the live score.
That is deliberate. A prediction that changes while the match is running is not a prediction, and a site that quietly updates its calls cannot be checked by anyone.
We do not publish in-play selections. Live prices move faster than any daily model can justify a position on, and a pre-match probability stops being valid the moment the first goal goes in.
If you use this page while betting in play, use it for the score and the events, not as confirmation of a pick that was made hours earlier under different conditions.
Every live score service depends on a chain: someone at the ground records an event, it reaches the data provider, the provider distributes it, and the site renders it. Each link adds a delay, and different services use different providers with different chains. A goal appearing here a few seconds after it appears elsewhere is normal.
Disputed events are the other source of divergence. A goal awarded and then chalked off, an own goal reattributed, a card upgraded after review — these are corrected upstream and flow through afterwards, so a score can change retrospectively.
If a score here disagrees with the official competition source, the official source is right. Tell us and we will look at the feed.

If you want the reasoning behind a fixture rather than its current score, the match insight carries the form, head-to-head and team news behind the published pick.
Goals, goal times, cards and substitutions come from the same licensed feed as the rest of the site. Where events for a particular match are not yet available from the provider, the section says so rather than showing a blank timeline — an empty timeline and an unavailable one are different states and we distinguish them.
Retrospective changes happen more often than most readers expect. A goal awarded and then chalked off, an own goal reattributed, a card upgraded after review — all of these are corrected upstream and flow through afterwards, so a score can legitimately change after you have seen it.
