Who is behind Ballon Viral

Ballon Viral started as a football page on Facebook and YouTube, posting every day for a French-speaking audience, mostly in West and Central Africa, and also in France. This site extends the page: everything we publish is sorted, dated and easy to find.

What you’ll find here

Football news

Champions League, Europe’s top leagues, African football, transfers: the day’s news, sorted by section. See all the news.

Predictions for every match

For each match we follow, a statistical model estimates each team’s expected goals from the matches already played in the competition. From that it works out the chances of a win, a draw, and the most likely score. Each analysis is locked before kick-off, then compared with the real result: mistakes stay visible in our track record. See today’s predictions.

The magazines

PDF magazines telling the stories of football stars: childhood, early days, transfers, behind the scenes. See the magazines.
