Frequently Asked Questions

Goal Guru is a football analytics and real-time match tracking app for iOS and Android, built for fans and analysts who want more than a basic score app. You can follow live stats across hundreds of leagues, explore team pages and head-to-head data, get AI match analysis from Guru Vision, and create custom Smart Alerts — for example, 'notify me when a team records 5+ shots in the last 15 minutes.' There's a free tier, so you can start without a subscription.

Open the Matches tab to see every match currently being played, with real-time stats like goals, shots, corners, cards, and possession. You can pin favorite matches to the top, filter by league, and tap any match for a detailed minute-by-minute view. And if you can't watch everything at once, set a Smart Alert — Goal Guru scans all live matches for you and sends a push notification the moment your conditions are met, so the action finds you instead of the other way around.

Goal Guru covers four layers of football data. Live match stats: goals, shots on/off target, corners, cards, possession, and momentum. League data: tables and standings with promotion and relegation zones, plus team performance metrics. Dedicated Team Pages bring a team's form, squad, standings, and upcoming fixtures together in one place. Historical data: head-to-head records, goal distributions by 15-minute period, comeback rates, and shot efficiency. And AI analysis from Guru Vision: result confidence, projected scorelines, goals, cards, and corners.

Yes. Guru Vision, our AI analysis model, generates a data-driven read on any match — result confidence, projected scoreline, total goals, both-teams-to-score, expected cards and corners — grounded in live stats, recent form, and head-to-head history. As the match evolves, the analysis updates automatically. You can then dig deeper with Ask Guru, our AI assistant — for example, 'how does this team perform when defending a lead?' Guru Vision is an analysis tool, not a betting or wagering service.

Yes. Beyond live scores, you get stats most apps don't surface: goal distributions by 15-minute window, comeback rates, scored-first win percentages, clean sheet and BTTS rates, shot conversion and accuracy, attacks and dangerous attacks split by half, and home/away performance splits. You can also compare two teams side by side, and run historical pattern analysis (backtesting) to see how often a specific match condition occurred across past games.

Smart Alerts are custom match conditions you define once — Goal Guru then watches every live match for you. For example: 'the home team records 5+ shots in the last 15 minutes' or 'more than 2 goals are scored in the first half.' You choose the events (shots, corners, cards, goals), the team target, the time window, and the threshold — and you can limit an alert to specific leagues or match minutes. The moment all conditions are met in any live match, you get an instant push notification with the match context.

Yes — Goal Guru's Free tier is free forever, with no credit card required. It includes 1 active Smart Alert, 1 focus league, basic push notifications, access to live stats, and a weekly allowance of backtesting credits. If you want more simultaneous alerts, more leagues, and advanced filtering, the Striker and Guru plans unlock higher limits — see the Pricing page for a full comparison.

We support hundreds of football leagues worldwide. That includes top-tier competitions like the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and the Champions League, as well as lower divisions, regional leagues, and international tournaments. If you follow a smaller league, chances are it's covered — and you can set any league as a favorite so its matches always surface first.

Goal Guru is available for iOS on the App Store and Android on Google Play. Download it, sign in, and you're tracking matches in under a minute. This website covers plans, the blog, and support — the full tracking experience lives in the app.
