What does form mean in soccer betting?
Form is a team's recent run of results and performances, often shown as a string such as WWDLW for the last five matches. Bettors use it to judge whether a team is playing above or below its usual level.

Basic form tables show wins, draws and losses. Better form reading also looks at goals scored and conceded, home and away splits, expected goals and the strength of the opponents faced. Sites differ on whether the newest result appears first or last, so check the order.
For example, a team on a WWWWL run looks strong, but if those wins came against bottom-table sides with narrow xG margins, the run may overstate its level. A team with LLDLD form but strong xG numbers may be closer to a turnaround than its results suggest.
Form changes quickly with injuries, suspensions, fixture congestion and coaching changes. The common mistake is treating five results as the full picture. Combine form with team news and underlying data before settling on a view.
