Help
Find matches, understand the available predictions and manage access with this guide. Visitors can browse fixtures and scores. Predictions and slip tools are also open to everyone when paid access is off.
Get access
- Try it first
- After verifying your number, activate your one-time free trial in Account or Get access. The administrator sets the duration, and Account shows when access ends. If your first paid subscription is approved while the trial is active, the paid plan starts when the trial ends.
- Report your payment
- Choose a plan and network, check the receiving name, then pay the amount shown. Confirm Paid from, which starts with your account number, and enter the transaction ID from your payment SMS. You can attach an optional screenshot of the payment message to help the administrator review it. Check the details and tap Submit payment. Your payment is reviewed before access opens. Use the support options if you need help.
- Approval and renewal
- Payment approvals and rejections trigger an account-update SMS to your registered account number in supported countries. If the SMS can’t be sent straight away, Goal Hint tries again automatically. Log in to see the decision and subscription expiry. These details stay out of SMS. After payment approval, your active subscription works on both devices where you’re logged in, even if SMS delivery fails. Logging in on a third device logs out the device with the oldest session. Separate browsers and in-app browsers count as separate devices. Get access and Account show whether you are waiting, approved or need to update payment details. Paying again before access ends adds the new days after the current period. Paid more than the plan’s price? The extra becomes account credit. Choose Top up under Account → Wallet to add credit, then pay for a plan from credit at once without approval, or turn on auto-renewal in Wallet so your plan renews from credit up to an hour before access ends (or, if access has already ended, as soon as your credit covers it within a day of the end, or else the next time you open Goal Hint). Credit pays for plans only and is not refundable as cash. Forgot your password? Use Forgot password to request a reset code by SMS or WhatsApp to your registered number.
Find matches
- Choose a day or range
- Open Filters beside the search bar and set From and To under Date and time window. Choose a day or a range of up to 366 days. Matches opens on Today.
- Search teams or leagues
- Enter a team, league or country in the search bar above the matches, for example Man Utd, Arsenal vs Chelsea or English Premier League. Results update as you type using the current filters. Press Enter or choose Search to run the current text immediately. Clear the field to restore the filtered list. Exact matches come first. Close alternatives, including small spelling mistakes, appear under Similar results.
- Your device’s time zone
- Kickoff times use your device’s time zone and a 24-hour clock. Use the calendar icon on From or To to open the picker, then choose Apply. Choose Apply Filters to update the match list. A range of 00:00–23:59 includes the full day. Daily runs use East Africa Time (EAT).
Refine the list
- Filters
- Choose Filters beside search. Leagues and Countries each have a searchable checklist. Use Search markets to find a family or outcome by name, shorthand such as BTTS, or a goal line such as Over 1.5. Checked choices stay selected as you search. In Markets, select the families used for the card’s displayed pick. Published outcomes keeps matches with at least one of the chosen Goal Hint predictions. Cards, sorting, and probability and odds limits use the displayed pick. Any selects every family and clears the outcome filter. Choose Apply to update the Markets selection, then Apply Filters to update the list. Close Filters to discard unapplied changes while keeping your typed match search.
- Probability
- Choose a minimum or maximum Probability to narrow the list by each match’s shown prediction. Leave a bound blank for Any. A percentage is an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Reset filters
- Reset Filters restores Today, Live first, all match statuses and all four market families. It clears the search and resets Published outcomes, Leagues, Countries, Probability and Odds. The date and time window covers the full day. Predictions only returns to the default for your access. Choose Apply Filters to update the list.
Sort and navigate
- One sort menu
- Matches opens with Live first selected. Highest chance and Lowest chance sort by each match’s shown prediction. Earliest first and Latest first sort by kickoff. Choose Apply Filters to apply sorting with your other edits.
- One Matches page
- Matches includes All, Upcoming, Live and Completed status filters. Live automatically selects Today with all kickoff times. Change status to select another period, including past dates, the next 3, 7 or 30 days, or a custom range. Compatible filters stay selected when you switch status. Predicted counts matches with forecasts; desktop outcome percentages use that total.
- Keep browsing
- Load more or use the page controls when available. Open a match card to read its analysis. Back to matches returns to the list and its filters.
Read a match card
- Fixture and live clock
- On phones, the date, local kickoff time and league share one row. Teams are stacked with each score beside its team, just before the right-hand status and prediction column. Full names are available in labels and tooltips. The Live badge shows elapsed time in minutes and seconds when a stored clock is available. Seconds are estimated between score updates. HT marks halftime and ET marks extra time. Wide screens also show the country and full league name.
- Prediction cells
- Odds and Prob use colons to pair each label with its value. On phones, odds sit on the left and probability on the right below the status badge. The market, pick and source share the next line. On wide screens, the market code precedes the pick and its source in one column. 1X2 means match result. DC means double chance. O/U means over or under the stated goal line. BTTS means both teams to score. Prediction codes 1, X and 2 mean home win, draw and away win. The corresponding double chances are 1X, X2 and 12. Full meanings are available in match analysis and accessible labels. A dash means information is unavailable.
- Match analysis
- Select a card for available market probabilities, supporting analysis, team information, source timestamps and prediction history. Coverage varies; missing information remains unavailable. Search and market controls on the match page help you explore the available analysis.
Understand forecasts
- Estimates and sources
- AI predictions take priority when valid. Validated API-Football statistical fallback can supply supported missing markets. The source is shown in match analysis. Forecasts remain provisional and cannot promise wins or complete news coverage.
- Available markets
- Match result selects home, draw or away. Double chance covers two of those outcomes. Over/Under 2.5 asks whether at least three goals are scored. Where published, Over/Under 1.5 asks whether at least two goals are scored. Both teams to score asks whether each team scores. These markets use regulation time, including stoppage time, and exclude extra time and penalties.
Updates and prediction locks
- Daily forecasts, live scores
- Forecasts refresh daily at 00:00 EAT for a rolling seven-day window. Scores refresh separately. Delays or incomplete coverage are possible; refreshing a page does not generate a new prediction.
- The prediction stays fixed
- An eligible prediction must be published before the five-minute pre-kickoff cutoff. Once locked, it does not change because a team takes the lead. History retains original predictions and their publication times.
Prediction results
- – Pending
- The prediction is awaiting a verified eligible result and settlement. A live match result prediction remains Pending even when the selected team leads.
- ✓ Win · ✕ Loss
- Green Win means the locked selection occurred; red Loss means the verified result contradicted it. A finished match can remain Pending while settlement or a verified regulation-time score is outstanding.
- Voids and corrections
- Ineligible cycles, such as cancellations or formal postponements, can be void. Verified result corrections can change the settled outcome using the same locked prediction. While a correction awaits settlement, the outcome returns to Pending.
