Question 3

Why aren't there any Bet365 prices on this page?

Question 4

How is the fouls-drawn matchup read calculated?

Accepted Answer

Fouls-drawn matchup blends our attackers' draw rate (50%) with the opposition's fouls-committed rate (50%). For the upcoming fixture against Belgium, the page weights Italy's ball-carriers against the opposition's last-season fouls-committed rate.

Question 5

What's the “Drawn / Committed” ratio?

Where do these stats come from?

Accepted Answer

All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz — 10 Italy fixtures in the active window for 2026/2027. Team-level fouls drawn is aggregated from per-player rows since Sportmonks doesn't always populate it directly.

Question 7

What counts as a qualifying appearance?

Accepted Answer

A player must have featured for at least 20 minutes in a fixture for that match to count toward their fouls-drawn rate and form. Cameo appearances are excluded.
