What this page can support
A credible final preview should timestamp its inputs, identify confirmed versus assumed availability and keep the pre-match view separate from the match report.
Evidence checklist
- Timestamp the preview and confirmed lineups used.
- State whether the estimate covers 90 minutes or advancement.
- Avoid converting uncertain match events into precise certainty.
- Link to the official report for the historical outcome.
Limit of the archive
The old page did not preserve a complete pre-match evidence packet, so its simulation claims were removed.
A forecast and an official result are different records. The forecast must remain dated and frozen; the result should come from the competition organiser.
