Flashscore
Our everyday reference for fixtures, scores, line-ups and match statistics. Fast, broad and useful when you simply need to see what is happening across the day's football.
Free to use. No affiliate relationship.
Open Flashscore →Tools we actually use.
No giant directory and no filler. These are tools and resources we genuinely think are useful. Aria has no affiliate relationship with anything on this page and receives nothing for recommending them.
Sofascore
A deeper statistical companion to a basic scores service. Useful for match detail, player ratings, heatmaps, momentum and exploring what happened inside a game rather than just reading the scoreline.
Free to use. No affiliate relationship.
Open Sofascore →InPlayGuru
This is the live-data service we use alongside Aria. Its scanner gives us live xG plus shots, corners, cards, momentum and other in-play information across a wide range of competitions.
Paid service. We recommend it because we use it ourselves. No affiliate relationship.
Open InPlayGuru →Lessons in Logic
One of the better educational resources we've found for people who want to understand the work underneath a betting decision: data, modelling, simulation and logical thinking rather than simply copying selections.
We aren't affiliates. We simply like what they do and think the educational material is worth people's time.
Open Lessons in Logic →CGMBet
A seriously powerful piece of pre-match software with a huge amount under the bonnet. There is a learning curve — we found it a little like trying to steer a cow at first — but once you understand it, there is an enormous amount you can do with it.
Paid software. No affiliate relationship. Included because we think it's a brilliant bit of kit.
Open CGMBet →Circles Off
American-sports heavy, but don't let that put you off. One of the better betting channels we've found for conversations about modelling, price, edge, markets and how serious bettors actually think. Educational without being dry.
External YouTube channel. No affiliate relationship.
Watch Circles Off →FBref
A useful historical reference when you want to dig into teams, players and competition-level statistics. It complements the live tools by giving you somewhere to explore longer-term performance and context.
Free reference resource. No affiliate relationship.
Open FBref →Understat
A useful way to explore expected-goals data and see how teams and players have performed against xG over time. Coverage is narrower than some of the larger score services, but the xG focus makes it worth including.
Free external resource. No affiliate relationship.
Open Understat →We'll add resources when they solve a real problem: live data, pre-match research, modelling education, statistical reference or simply a better way to think. A short list we genuinely rate is worth more than fifty links nobody needs.
