Sports data has evolved far beyond the final score. Today’s fans, bettors, and media crave depth and context: why a goal was scored, how a lineup change impacts strategy, and what shifts during the match. Recognizing this, STATSCORE – a leading sports data and technology provider – is launching a new generation of premium features for its flagship trackers: PrematchPro and LivematchPro. These tools transform data into meaningful insights and engaging experiences.

PrematchPro: Intelligence before the whistle

Every sports performance begins long before the first kick. It starts with strategy, preparation, and understanding: the essential ingredients that define what will unfold once the match begins. This is where STATSCORE PrematchPro excels.

Designed for sportsbooks, media, and fans, it transforms pre-match data into a predictive intelligence hub, offering head-to-head comparisons, league stats, standings, and more.

Its detailed features go beyond basic stats, helping users understand not just who is playing, but why their presence – or absence – matters.

Player Importance – measuring a player’s value to the team

At the heart of this transformation is Player Importance, a groundbreaking feature that quantifies each player’s influence on their team. Using a 1-5 scale, it captures strategic and functional value beyond basic stats. A star forward rated 5 might be the team’s creative engine, whose absence shifts attacking rhythm, while a rotation midfielder rated 2 has less impact, allowing the team to maintain balance.

This insight helps users grasp team hierarchy, identify pivotal players, and anticipate lineup performance – enriching pre-match analysis, media coverage, and fan engagement.

Player Importance is assessed relative to each player’s role and updated to reflect current form, giving sportsbooks precise, actionable insights to engage users and support data-driven decisions.

Missing Players – the full story of absence

Supporting this is the Missing Players feature, a meticulously detailed solution that catalogues over 70 specific reasons for player absences. 

The reasons for absence include injuries (e.g. concussions), suspensions (e.g. bans from clubs), team decisions, personal or administrative issues, and more.

Each scenario reshapes the context of the match, influencing tactical formations, attacking potential, defensive vulnerabilities, and team morale. PrematchPro captures these subtleties to give fans and bettors the confidence to interpret pre-game dynamics accurately, which is a vital factor in following the game and wagering on its outcome.

LivematchPro: The game in motion

Once the match begins, everything you’ve learned from PrematchPro comes to life. 

This is where LivematchPro steps in – STATSCORE’s most dynamic, interactive, and visually captivating live data solution.

While PrematchPro prepares users with complete pre-game intelligence and analytics, LivematchPro delivers real-time understanding, turning the match into a living, breathing flow of data. It captures every shot, every goal, every decision, every turning point – and it presents it in a format that’s not only informative but visually appealing and immersive.

When paired with Tipster, STATSCORE’s advanced betting tips service, LivematchPro gains an extra layer of interactivity. Tipster provides in-game hints and contextual predictions that respond to the evolving match, keeping fans and bettors engaged and invested.

Together, they transform live data into continuous storytelling, offering a richer, more interactive match experience.

Live xG – quality of shots revealed

At the forefront is the newly introduced Expected Goals (xG) model, one of modern football’s most insightful performance indicators.

LivematchPro now incorporates both live and seasonal xG data, helping users understand not only whether a chance was created but how likely it was to result in a goal.

It’s assigned to every shot – whether it’s on target, off target, blocked, or results in a goal – and is evaluated based on key factors like shot type, defender pressure, zone of the pitch, or the number of defenders.

For analysts and fans alike, this brings a new dimension to storytelling: numbers that reveal quality, not just quantity. For sportsbooks, xG provides bettors with transparent, data-backed insights that build trust and enhance engagement. By keeping users informed and empowered, it plays a vital role in driving retention and appealing to the next generation of data-savvy bettors.

Live Player Ratings – monitoring each player’s performance in real time

Updated continuously throughout the match, the Live Player Ratings system assesses each player’s performance on a 1-10 scale, offering transparent, data-backed evaluations.

Ratings rise with impactful contributions such as goals, assists, decisive dribbles, goal-line clearances, or penalty saves, and decrease following errors, fouls, bookings, or costly mistakes. This continuous assessment provides a clear view of how performances evolve: who’s dictating play, who’s improving under pressure, and who’s fading as fatigue sets in.

It creates a real-time rhythm that mirrors the pulse of the game itself: a perfect tool for broadcasters, bettors, and fans who demand more than just numbers.

Dotmap – visualizing key match events on the pitch

Complementing this is Dotmap, LivematchPro’s new visually distinctive feature. 

By plotting key match events – goals, shots, blocks, free kicks, and offsides – directly on an interactive virtual pitch, Dotmap lets users see the story unfold spatially. 

The field becomes a canvas where tactics come to life: patterns emerge, zones of control shift, and the battle lines of the match become visible at a glance.

Together, these elements elevate LivematchPro beyond live coverage. It becomes an interpretive lens, showing not only what is happening, but why it matters.

Complementary roles, unified vision

These solutions are distinct yet complementary.

• PrematchPro helps users understand by identifying key players, anticipating absences, and evaluating tactics.
• LivematchPro lets users experience the match with live ratings, visual mapping, and performance metrics.
• Tipster helps users act, turning analysis into predictions and engagement that boost participation and revenue.

Together, they form a complete data journey — from knowledge to emotion, and insight to action.

Global reach, local relevance

Covering 18 sports, 30,000+ monthly events, and nearly 40 languages, STATSCORE’s PrematchPro and LivematchPro scale globally while adapting to local markets. Mobile-first and responsive, they integrate seamlessly across web, mobile, and embedded platforms.

With the latest upgrades and Tipster integration, STATSCORE delivers not just tools, but experiences that inform, engage, and inspire. Each solution is distinct yet unified in purpose: turning information into understanding, and understanding into engagement.

This is the new frontier of sports data – transparent, dynamic, and deeply interactive.
