Because of the inherent server delay and the deployment time of units, playing purely 'reactively' means your defense will always be a fraction of a second too late.
Predictive gameplay looks like pure magic to a casual observer; it appears as though the player is reading the opponent's mind and dropping spells on empty tiles.
Reading the Opponent
If you launch a Hog Rider at the bridge, pay intense attention to exactly where the opponent places their defensive Cannon.
When you launch your final Hog Rider, you don't wait to see the Cannon; you instantly cast a predictive Fireball on the exact tile they have used all game.

Knowing When They Will Strike
This requires constant, flawless tracking of their elixir bar in your head.
If they just over-committed 9 elixir on a failed push, you can predict that they will be completely unable to defend a sudden Bridge Spam attack in the opposite lane.

Mind Over Mechanics
When you successfully pull off a massive, game-winning prediction, it is the most satisfying feeling in the entire game.
Start small; try predicting simple swarm placements with cheap spells before attempting predictive heavy spells.
