The Int. Friendlies section covers international matches played across the world in the 2026 calendar, with previews published for selected fixtures rather than every match on the schedule. This page collects those previews alongside the wider competition picture.
Int. Friendlies sits outside a domestic league structure, so there's no fixed group of clubs working through a single season together. What does stay constant is where to find the competition's current shape: the standings and the fixtures list are kept separately and updated as matches are added and played.
Each preview carries a predicted scoreline, a headline tip, five further picks across other markets and a three-leg bet builder, along with team news, a predicted line-up for both sides and details of where to watch. A preview is prepared roughly 22 hours before kick-off and updated if the team news changes before the game. The same page then carries through to full time, showing how the tips fared once the match is settled. Every preview is bylined, and the full list of writers sits on the authors page.
Every tip is graded hit or miss, and a miss is never quietly removed. Results are worked out from the decimal odds printed when the preview was published, never adjusted afterwards, on a flat stake. For the running numbers behind all of that, see the tip record, and for the full grading process see how we predict.
