Answer 1

First Identify the parent anchor tag and then iterate the parent element to find the specific child element. Scores are not available for all the matches since some of them have not started yet. Use try..except block in that case.

driver.get('https://www.fotmob.com/?date=20221118&q=')
elements=WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.show-webkit-scroll a[class*='MatchWrapper']")))
for element in elements:
    print(element.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span[class*='TeamName']:nth-of-type(1)").text)
    try:
        element.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span[class$='-score']")
        print(element.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span[class$='-score']").text)
    except:
        print("No score record found")
    print(element.find_element(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span[class*='TeamName']:nth-of-type(2)").text)
    print("===============================")
