If you are looking for an Infogol alternative, start with what has happened to the address: when we checked on 3 October 2026, infogol.net no longer resolved at all, and on 1 September 2026 it had redirected to the football section of Sporting Life, which did not mention expected goals. Our own record is public: on 11 Nov 2026 it showed a mean calibration error of ±0.1% across 6,597,384 graded predictions (all-time; all markets, player markets included). This page covers each part of the old job and who does it now.
The Rubric: Four Checks for Every Site
Each site is scored Yes or No on four published criteria, TACTIX on the same terms. A site passes a check when it:
- Accuracy reporting: publishes how its forecasts turned out, as an aggregated graded record with the losing calls kept in.
- Methodology disclosure: writes up how its numbers are made, beyond a one-line summary.
- Sample size: states how many graded predictions stand behind each record figure.
- Data access: lets you download that graded record (CSV, JSON or an API).

| Forebet | No public record found — earlier predictions stay visible, no aggregated record | No — summarised as mathematical modelling | No public record found | No public record found | forebet.com, checked 3 October 2026 |

What Happened to Infogol
On 1 September 2026 we requested infogol.net and were redirected (HTTP 302) to the football section of Sporting Life. That page offered tips, previews, results, tables and a weekly accumulator column from its own writers, and did not mention Infogol or expected goals anywhere we could see. When we checked again on 3 October 2026, infogol.net no longer resolved at all. We are not going to guess at the corporate history; the observable fact is that the Infogol address no longer serves an Infogol product, and readers who relied on its xG-led previews need somewhere else to go.
The Three Things Infogol Did That Are Worth Replacing
First, a stated method: the numbers were explained as expected-goals models, not conjured. Second, probabilities rather than bare picks — a percentage you could weigh against a price. Third, a preview in prose that told you why. Any alternative should be measured on those three, plus the one Infogol never made a headline of: a public graded record that keeps the losing calls.
Alternatives, by Job
For raw expected-goals data to browse — league xG tables, shot maps, player xG — Understat describes itself as detailed xG statistics for the top European leagues, built on a neural-network shot model trained on more than 100,000 shots (its own description, as of October 2026); see our Understat alternative page for its limits. For historical statistics at scale, FBref advertises coverage of 100+ men's and women's competitions, though its advanced statistics, Opta xG included, stopped updating in January 2026 after its data supply changed (source). Neither publishes match predictions; they are where the inputs live, not the forecast.
TACTIX — Measured on the Same Three Things, Plus the Fourth
TACTIX is our platform, so hold it to the list above rather than taking our word. It is the prediction half of what Infogol did: expected goals, venue-adjusted team ratings and market prices feed one calibrated probability per market across 240+ markets per fixture. The method is written up in public; every fixture carries a free pick with a Gold, Silver or Bronze confidence grade; and the whole record is graded on the scoreboard, losers included. On 11 Nov 2026 that record showed a mean calibration error of ±0.1% across 6,597,384 graded predictions (all-time; all markets, player markets included).
Where Infogol led with previews, TACTIX leads with a page per fixture — the day hub lists every match kicking off in the UK day with its free pick and best price, and each match page carries the model's probabilities, the xG summary and the shot map where the data exists.
How to Choose
If you want to read xG tables, go to a dedicated xG site. If you want a probability per market and a record you can audit, use a calibrated prediction platform. If you want both, keep two tabs open — that is how most people used Infogol anyway.
Infogol Alternative — FAQs
Is Infogol still running?
Not at its old address. When we checked on 3 October 2026, infogol.net no longer resolved: the name did not lead to any site. On 1 September 2026 it had redirected to the football section of Sporting Life, which mentioned neither Infogol nor expected goals. Treat any Infogol bookmark as gone and check for yourself — the situation may change.
What made Infogol distinctive?
It put expected goals at the centre of match previews and predictions for a mainstream audience: xG-based ratings, probabilities per market and a readable preview, rather than a bare tip. That combination — a stated method, probabilities, and prose — is the standard an alternative should meet.
Is TACTIX an Infogol replacement?
For the prediction half, it is the closest fit in this guide: xG and team ratings feed a calibrated probability per market for every fixture, with a free graded pick and a public record. For the browsing-xG half, pair it with a dedicated xG site such as Understat.
Does TACTIX show its expected-goals data?
Yes. Match pages carry the xG summary and shot map where the data exists, and the open-data page lists the expected-points tables you can download as CSV, each naming the xG source it was built from.
