Data Mining on Soccer Data

This project requires that you obtain a dataset of a bunch of soccer games and do some data mining and data analytics on this data. Looking at some of the following questions;

  • How does home/away effect results?
  • If a player is sent off, how likely is it for the other team to score in the next 10 mins? 20 mins? 30 mins?
  • If a new player is brought on, how likely is it for the team to score in the next 10 mins? 20 mins? 30 mins?
  • Does number of corners per side predict the winner? the final score?
  • Does number of off-sides per side predict the winner? the final score?
  • Does the number of fouls committed by your team and the other team predict the winner? the final score?
  • How does the system effect the outcome? e.g. 4-4-2, 4-3-3, 3-4-3, 4-5-1, 3-5-2.
  • What about playing a team with a different system?
The key objective to this research is to see how do these factors work both individually and in combination.
