The Five-Minute Match Preview Checklist
Five questions, five minutes, before any slip. The checklist Can uses on Saturday mornings.
Do you need hours of analysis?
No. Can spends five minutes per match and cut his Saturday slips from eight to four, with better results.
1. Recent form
Last five results for both teams, home and away separately. A team unbeaten at home can be very different on the road.
2. Team news
Is the top scorer or first-choice keeper missing? One absence can shift a match more than a table position.
3. Motivation
Title race, relegation fight, or a cup game three days later? Rotation changes everything.
4. The price
Does the price match what you just read? If a strong home side is offered generously, ask why before you get excited.
5. Why am I betting?
If the honest answer is 'I'm bored' or 'to win back last week', Can skips the match. That question alone saved him the most.
Quick Questions
Where do you find team news?
Club announcements and pre-match press conferences, usually a day before the game.
Does this work in-play too?
The first three questions, yes; check them before kick-off so you can react calmly later.
