Effective action anticipation in sports hinges on the integration of prior knowledge and kinematic cues, enabling athletes to respond swiftly accurately real-time scenarios. However, neural mechanisms supporting this integrative process remain insufficiently understood. This study addressed gap by using electroencephalography (EEG), combined with both multivariate univariate analyses, investigate how expert basketball players non-athlete controls information during a sport-specific task. Eighty-five participants (44 experts 41 controls) were asked predict outcomes free throws presented via video clips, either or without outcome-based cues. Multivariate pattern classification contingent negative variation (CNV) analyses revealed distinct anticipatory strategies between groups, predominantly relying information, whereas showed greater sensitivity information. Additionally, time-frequency analysis alpha-band activity indicated stronger desynchronization experts, reflecting enhanced cortical engagement processing. Notably, alpha ERD was significantly for incongruent trials later phase task, suggesting increased when resolving conflicts expectations observed actions. These findings advance our understanding temporal dynamics underlying anticipation, highlight value combining EEG decoding approaches characterize individual differences predictive
