SoccerScanner Daily Insights — 24 August 2026

Performance tracking available inside SoccerScanner.

All 46 alerts settled with no outstanding tickets: 43 bettable and 3 skipped. Members collected 28 winners against 15 losers on £215 staked, yet the session still finished £15.20 underwater — a mid-sixties conversion rate that could not cover the prices attached to the losing side of the book.

Commercial upside sat in a short, perfect run at the top. One two-signal filter led with £10, while several smaller green pockets underneath it were not enough to offset the filters that dragged the wider ledger into the red.

SoccerScanner tracked 135 completed matches at 2.93 goals per game. Over 2.5 landed in 52.6% of fixtures, Over 3.5 in 35.6%, and both teams scored in 45.2% — an open global mean that still left youth football and cup nights well above the average, with stoppage phases rewriting plenty of scorelines. 43 games (31.9%) produced a goal after the 80th minute, and 48 (35.6%) after the 75th. Late swings included Roma turning a 3–0 Italy Serie A lead into a 4–0 finish over Fiorentina past the 80th, Altglienicke vs VfL Wolfsburg flipping a 2–1 Germany DFB Pokal scoreline into a 3–3 draw with three strikes after the 80th, and Toktogul vs OshMU-Aldier going from 0–0 to 2–1 in Kyrgyzstan Top Liga once the clock hit the final stretch.

Youth and cup football set the scoring ceiling. Slovenia 1. Junior League averaged 5.6 goals across five fixtures — Over 2.5 and BTTS in every game, with late goals in 100% of the sample. Perfect Over 2.5 boards elsewhere included Germany DFB Pokal at 4.75 goals over four matches and England Premier League 2 Division One at 4.6 across five. Among featured topl competitions, England Premier League and Saudi Arabia Pro League both ran at 3.5 goals over two fixtures each (BTTS in 100% of the Premier League sample), while Spain La Liga sat on the quiet floor at 1.0 goal across two matches (Over 2.5 in 0%). Iran Persian Gulf Pro League held near the global mean at 2.5 over six games, with late goals in 50%. The usable low-scoring pocket was Argentina Primera C at 0.67 goals across three fixtures (Over 2.5 in 0%, Over 1.5 in just 33.3%).

Stoppage phases hit hardest away from the biggest featured boards. Slovenia 1. Junior League produced a goal after the 80th in every one of its five fixtures (100%), and Iran Persian Gulf Pro League in 50% of six, while the featured England Premier League, Saudi Arabia Pro League, and Spain La Liga samples all finished with 0% late-goal rates across their two-match boards.

Usable expected-goals splits stretched across England, Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands, Brazil, Germany, and Italy. Chelsea turned 1.81 xG into 3 goals away at Fulham in England Premier League; Al Hazm scored 2 from 0.96 at Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia Pro League; Heracles Almelo posted 6 from 2.45 in a Netherlands Eerste Divisie thriller at Jong FC Utrecht; Athletico PR finished 3 from 0.5 away at Botafogo in Brazil Serie A; and Schalke 04 converted 2.62 xG into 5 goals in Germany DFB Pokal at Hallescher FC. Underperformers included Bologna (0 from 1.65 xG in a 0–1 Italy Serie A loss to Lazio), NEOM SC (0 from 1.54 at home to Al-Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia Pro League), and TOP Oss (0 from 1.25 away at Jong PSV in Netherlands Eerste Divisie). Highest combined xG among clean boards sat with Al Ittihad vs Al Hazm (3.84 combined for 5 goals in Saudi Arabia Pro League), Roma vs Fiorentina (3.33 combined for 4 in Italy Serie A), Fulham vs Chelsea (3.30 combined for 5 in England Premier League), Málaga vs Deportivo A Coruña (3.23 combined for 2 in Spain La Liga), and NEOM SC vs Al-Qadsiah (2.95 combined for 2), while Roma vs Fiorentina also showed the widest clean split (3.01 vs 0.32, 2.69 gap) in the 4–0 Italy Serie A home win.

Finishing swung between ruthlessness and waste. Across the full slate it took 2.69 shots on target per goal (1,064 on target, 396 goals), and 16 sides registered 10+ shots on target. VfL Wolfsburg hammered 16 on target for 3 goals in Germany DFB Pokal; Viimsi posted 16 for 4 in Estonia Esiliiga A; Real Cartagena managed 14 for 6 in Colombia Primera B; América W turned 13 into 7 in Mexico Liga MX Women; and Sunderland U21 converted 13 into 5 in England Premier League 2 Division One. Conversion leaders included Al-Qadsiah (2 from 3, 66.7% in Saudi Arabia Pro League), Chelsea (3 from 6, 50% in England Premier League), Al Ittihad (3 from 6, 50% in Saudi Arabia Pro League), and Roma (4 from 8, 50% in Italy Serie A). Blank boards included Osasuna (7 on target, 0 goals in Spain La Liga), NEOM SC (5 on target without scoring in Saudi Arabia Pro League), Fiorentina (4 on target, 0 goals in Italy Serie A), and Bologna (5 on target without scoring against Lazio).

Form runs underlined the same themes. Al Ittihad carried a 12-match scoring sequence into the 3–2 Saudi Arabia Pro League win over Al Hazm; Fulham extended a 6-match scoring run into the 2–3 England Premier League defeat to Chelsea; Roma stacked a 6-match Over 2.5 sequence into the 4–0 Italy Serie A win over Fiorentina; Chelsea arrived on 4-match Over 2.5 and scoring runs into the five-goal London derby; and Málaga extended an 8-match conceding streak into a 1–1 Spain La Liga draw with Deportivo A Coruña.

Put together, yesterday read as a compact midweek board with a sharp youth-and-cup ceiling — Slovenia’s junior league and Germany’s DFB Pokal defining the open end of the slate, while the marketplace finished red behind a flawless £10 top-filter return despite a mid-sixties hit rate.
