## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability footballpulse-match-preview-474643c9
```

Example prompt: Give me the full match preview for Arsenal vs Manchester City this Saturday — form, head-to-head, injuries, xG comparison, key battles, and your predicted score with the primary bet to place.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a holistic pre-match breakdown for a specific football fixture before betting or previewing. It bundles form, H2H, injuries, xG, and a concrete bet recommendation in one call, saving multiple separate lookups. Prefer it over the value-bets or Asian-handicap endpoints when you want narrative match context and a single-match focus rather than cross-market EV analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Match not found or fixture ID invalid — returns 404 or empty result
- Teams or fixture not yet available in the data feed — stale or missing data
- Malformed request parameters — returns 400 bad request
- Payment not completed or insufficient funds — returns 402 Payment Required
- Service temporarily unavailable — returns 503

## How this service works

Match preview — form, H2H, injuries, xG comparison, key battles, predicted score and the primary bet. For football betting agents.

## Output

A structured match preview containing recent form for both teams, head-to-head history, injury and suspension lists, expected goals (xG) comparison, key tactical battles, a predicted scoreline, and a single primary bet recommendation with supporting rationale.
