During the match, fans will see how teams react to their opposition's tactics, helping them to understand the strategies behind different styles of play.
Win Probability
The Win Probability statistic tells the story of a team’s performance by calculating the chance of a team securing a win or draw by simulating the remainder of the match 100,000 times.
The model is based on four years of match data and takes into account if a team are home or away, the current score, penalties awarded, players on the pitch, red cards and time left in the match.
Attacking Threat
The Attacking Threat metric measures the likelihood of the team in possession scoring a goal in the next 10 seconds.
The results are based on data from thousands of historical matches and the last five events in the current possession.
The model incorporates the outcomes of passes, dribbles in possession, tackles and the locations on the pitch where they take place.
