What is PitchTensor?

PitchTensor gives every upcoming football match a calibrated forecast: the chance of a home win, a draw and an away win, the goals to expect, and the form behind the numbers. It reaches you as a ready-made card for websites, or as an API for apps and platforms. Individuals can use the same analysis in a Telegram bot.

How do I add the forecast card to my website?

The card is added to a match page with one iframe. Your account comes with an integration guide, and whoever manages your site (or its CMS) sets it up once for the match template. There is nothing to design and no data to store. Apps and platforms use the API instead.

Do I need a developer?

For the card, a little help is enough: one iframe per match page, set up once. For the API, a developer fetches the data and shows it in your own design. The guide that comes with your account explains both.

Where do the forecasts come from?

From trained models built on years of football results, with no tipsters, no editorial opinions and no bookmaker prices. Curious about the details? Leave your email and PitchTensor will walk you through them.

Do you use betting odds?

No, never. Odds are not an input, not a prior and not a tuning target, and they are not shown. A PitchTensor forecast is an independent view of the match.

How do I know the forecasts are any good?

Every forecast is stored when it is made, and only forecasts made before match day are scored against the real result. The track record page shows how often the most likely outcome happened, how much smaller the forecast error is than a plain baseline, and whether the stated percentages hold. Early in a season the sample is small, and the page says so.

How often are the forecasts updated?

The probabilities are recomputed every morning. Kick-off times, match status and injury news are refreshed through the day. A club's next-match forecast does not change in between, so showing it all day is correct.

What does a match come with?

The core forecast is always there: win, draw and away chances, over 2.5 goals, both teams to score, the goals expected from each side, a confidence level and the kick-off time. Extras can be added: the form and scoring of both clubs, a one-line verdict, key injuries and suspensions, data notes, and the chance of going through a two-leg European tie.

Can I choose what appears on my pages?

Yes. Each extra can be switched on or off for your account at any time, and a change reaches the feed and the cards already embedded in your pages straight away.

Which competitions are covered?

The Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and the Süper Lig, the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, and the UEFA Nations League.

What does the football analytics API cost?

Plans start at €39 a month with every competition and every extra included, and differ only by volume and support. See the pricing page for the plans and how requests are counted.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The 14-day pilot has everything switched on, so a site can be tested before any commitment. Request access and PitchTensor will set it up.

Do the forecasts follow the news?

Key injuries and suspensions can be shown next to a forecast as an extra, for information. News and social signals are on the roadmap. Want to know more? Leave your email and PitchTensor will get in touch.

Can betting and gaming sites use PitchTensor?

Yes. The forecasts carry no odds and are independent of any bookmaker. They are shown with a disclaimer that they are analysis for information and entertainment, not betting advice.

Is this betting advice?

No. PitchTensor forecasts are model-based analysis for information and entertainment, not predictions and not a guarantee of any result. The disclaimer travels with every card.

Can fans use it to make better predictions?

Fans use the analysis (probabilities, recent form, goals scored and conceded) as a reference when they make their own predictions. PitchTensor does not tell anyone what to pick, and it does not make predictions for you.

Can individuals use PitchTensor too?

Yes. The PitchTensor Telegram bot answers for any club, follows favourite teams and sends the forecast before kick-off. Every new user starts with 30 days of Pro, and the Basic plan stays free.

How do I get access?

Leave an email address on the request-access form. PitchTensor will be in touch as partner onboarding opens, and will happily answer any questions about how it works.

How does sports data onboarding work?

Request access and start the free 14-day pilot. You receive an account with an integration guide, add the card or call the API, and go live. The extras can be switched on or off at any time, and plans can change as your traffic grows.
