AZ

Leipzig and AZ Alkmaar face each other in a pre-season friendly at Leipzig’s training centre. The Red Bulls failed to put an end to Bayern Munchen’s dominance in the Bundesliga last term, and, to make things even worse for the fans, defensive duo Dayot Upamecano – Ibrahima Konate left the club.

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munchen will be looking to kick off their preseason in style when they face Koln at Techonologie Arena on Saturday.

What are International Friendlies Predictions?

International Friendlies predictions are expert forecasts of outcomes in non-competitive matches between national teams. Unlike tournament fixtures, friendlies focus on preparation, squad rotation, and tactical experimentation rather than results alone. Friendlies predictions involve analysing factors such as current form, recent call-ups, and travel fatigue to determine which teams are best placed to perform well across international friendlies.
Since managers often use these games to test new systems or debut players, our forecasts weigh up aspects like motivation, lineup strength, and match context to deliver accurate, data-driven insights. Our predictions are used to build data-driven football betting tips on some of the most common betting markets for International Friendlies, including Match Result, Both Teams to Score (BTTS), and Over/Under goals.

How are International Friendlies Predictions determined?

Our analysts develop accurate International Friendlies predictions through a structured process that blends statistical modelling, player analysis, and betting market evaluation. This approach reflects the fluid nature of friendly matches, where tactical experimentation, travel schedules, and player motivation often shape outcomes more than rankings or form.
The 3 key steps behind our International Friendlies predictions are as follows.

  • Analysing recent team and player form
  • Evaluating line-ups, motivation, and match objectives
  • Comparing findings with bookmaker odds

How are International Friendlies Predictions determined

  1. Analysing recent team and player form. The first step in producing reliable International Friendlies predictions involves reviewing how national teams and key players have performed in their most recent matches, whether in qualifiers, tournaments, or previous friendlies. Metrics such as goals scored, defensive stability, and player involvement help identify which sides are entering friendlies in better rhythm.
  2. Evaluating line-ups, motivation, and match objectives. Once form has been analysed, the next step required to produce solid friendlies predictions involves assessing team selection and motivation. Managers often rotate players, test tactical systems, or introduce debutants, which affects match dynamics. Understanding whether a nation is preparing for a major competition or using the game purely for experimentation helps forecast the likely intensity and outcome of each friendly.
  3. Comparing findings with bookmaker odds. The final step in shaping our International Friendlies predictions involves aligning all analytical data with betting markets. By tracking price shifts and comparing them to team news, travel distance, and expected line-ups, our analysts pinpoint matches where odds diverge from statistical probability, offering bettors accurate and value-driven insights for the International Friendlies bets.

When are International Friendlies Predictions released?

Our International Friendlies predictions are released every Monday at 12:00 pm London time, ahead of the week’s scheduled fixtures. This timing allows readers to access up-to-date insights on team news, player availability, and tactical expectations before matches begin. For additional or rescheduled friendlies, our forecasts are updated as soon as fixtures are confirmed, ensuring every International Friendlies prediction remains accurate and timely.

When do International Friendlies take place mostly?

International friendlies mostly take place during the club league season, typically in scheduled FIFA international breaks. These periods allow national teams to gather players from their respective clubs, such as those competing in La Liga, without disrupting domestic competitions for long stretches. Friendlies held during these windows help managers test tactical setups, assess squad depth, and prepare for upcoming tournaments or qualification matches. These games are often used as preparation for major events such as the UEFA European Championship, FIFA World Cup, or Copa America, providing valuable opportunities to build cohesion and experiment with line-ups before competitive fixtures resume.

How are International Friendlies Fixtures organised?

International friendlies fixtures are organised through direct coordination between football federations, who agree on suitable opponents, venues, and revenue-sharing arrangements. These matches are often negotiated months in advance, with input from sponsors, broadcasters, and match promoters who handle logistics and commercial aspects.
Major sports marketing agencies frequently broker deals for high-profile friendly games as well, while corporate sponsors such as Nike work closely with national teams like Brazil to plan strategic matchups that maximise exposure. Some federations, such as Mexico’s, schedule most of their friendlies abroad (particularly in the United States) where large fan bases and higher gate revenues make these fixtures financially attractive.

Why do teams play international friendlies?

The main reasons teams play international friendlies are preparatory, including testing tactics, assessing players, and improving fitness. Two additional purposes are maintaining ranking points and promoting international cooperation.
More information about the top 5 reasons why teams play international friendlies is given below.

  • Trying new systems. Managers use friendlies to introduce new tactics and formations in a low-pressure environment before applying them in competitive matches.
  • Evaluating players. Friendly games allow coaches to observe how emerging or fringe players handle real match scenarios and adapt to different levels of opposition.
  • Building fitness. Friendlies help players return to peak physical form, especially before major tournaments or after long breaks in club competition.
  • Improving rankings. Results from friendlies contribute to a country’s FIFA ranking, which influences future seedings and tournament placements.
  • Encouraging cooperation. Friendly matches often serve as tools for sporting diplomacy, strengthening cultural and institutional ties between nations.
