Premier League news 2021: PL promotes football analytics with Oracle Cloud
From Premier League season 2021-22, the PL will provide in-match statistics and analysis for supporters, made possible by Oracle Cloud.
The Premier League has chosen
Oracle cloud provider for in-match statistics, starting from the new premier
league season that kicks off on August 14, 2021.
The premier league, which is
providing both finalists in this year’s UEFA Champions League final in
Istanbul, will be providing in-match statistics starting from premier league season
2021-22.
The supplier said its data
analytics and machine learning technologies would deliver “ground-breaking
statistics in real time to a global audience of billions each season”.
Premier League chief executive, Richard
Masters, said: “We are always looking at new ways to bring the Premier League
to life and enhance the analysis of the competition. Oracle is a global brand
with a great track record of driving innovation, and we look forward to working
together to bring new levels of engagement to fans around the world.”
Ariel Kelman, Oracle’s chief
marketing officer, said: “Combining Oracle’s machine learning expertise with
the Premier League’s wealth of football data is a significant merger of
technology and sport.
“The margins for error in the
Premier League are very small, so the data is crucial to discovering the
meaningful moments and stories of each match. It’s those stories that unite
fans and ignite their passions for the game.”
Oracle said supporters will be able
to access match information instantly, whether watching from home or on mobile
devices. Statistics will be broadcast across the premier league’s own social
channels. Among the “match insights” promised are:
Momentum tracker: This is
said to work out 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
games and the last five events in the current possession.
Live win probability: This
calculates the chance of a team getting a win or a draw by simulating the
remainder of the match 100,000 times. This model, based on four years of match
data, takes into account if a team is at home or away, current score, penalties
awarded, players on the pitch, red cards, and time left in the match.
Average formation: This
tracks the positions of all players when their team is in and out of
possession. The model highlights differences in how teams organize themselves
when attacking and defending.
