Football Predictions for Premier League, La Liga and Serie A

Let’s kick off 2018 with our latest Football Predictions!

Premier League Week 22

On the contrary to Bing, we prefer to bet on Brighton vs. Bournemouth in a game that we expect to be close.

After 3 consecutive games without winning, we believe than Manchester United will continue to have a difficult time at Everton in a game too close to call.

Finally in the Arsenal – Chelsea derby we believe that the Gunners will make good use of their Home Advantage and we give them slightly favourable odds.

Arsenal Chelsea 42% 25% 33% 32% 25% 43%

La Liga Week 18

Despite benefiting from the Home Advantage, we believe that Valencia will be challenged by Girona, with a win % of 49%, much lower than Bing’s 81%.

We agree with Bing that the Leganes-Socidedad game is too close to call, with each side having equal winning probabilities.

Serie A Week 20

We have some differences here with Bing, as we predict the games Chievo vs. Udinese and Fiorentina vs. Inter Milan too close too call

Genoa-Sassuolo is also expected to be a very close game, with the home side having slightly favourable odds.

As usual our odds are lower than Bing for the Napoli, AC Milan, Roma and Juventus games, although we both agree that a win from these top teams is the most likely outcome.

Year End Football Predictions

 

Premier League Week 21

The notable difference with Bing Predicts is on the Watford-Swansea and Huddersfield-Burnley games that we predict too close to call, whereas Bing seems to see a pretty clear victory of the Home side for both games.

Bing Predictions for the last 3 games on Dec 31st are not available at this time.

Serie A Week 19

Overall our predictions are similar to Bing, with the notable exception of the Bologna-Udinese game which we think will be very close whereas Bing foresees an easy Bologna victory. We also believe that the game between Inter and Lazio will be very challenging to predict as well, Inter only having a 43% victory odd vs. 55% for Bing.

As usual we believe the 89% that Bing predicts for Sampdoria, Atalanta and Roma wins is too high and our victory probability is in the 60s %

AnalystMaster 1-0 BingPredicts and Boxing Day Predictions

BingPredicts challenge results

Last week we challenged BingPredicts over their Football Predictions over Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A predictions.

AnalystMaster wins the challenge with 49% of correct predictions vs. 44% for BingPredicts.

In Particular AnalystMaster correctly predicted Barcelona’s win over Real Madrid in El Clasico, or better anticipated the difficulties of Man United at Leicester

Boxing Day Predictions

You will find below our predictions and the ones from BingPredicts for Boxing Day.

They are very similar, we only disagree on the Watford-Leicester game where we predict a tough game with a Leicester win being more likely, whereas Bing bets on a Watford victory.

We also foresee Arsenal having a tough time at Crystal Palace in the last game too close to call, where Bing sees an easy Arsenal win.

Happy Boxing day everybody!

Football Predictions: AnalystMaster vs. BingPredicts

Challenging Bing Predicts on Football Predictions

Bing Predicts prides itself at being great in forecasting the outcome of some events. A quick look at its wikipedia page shows that it predicted the winners from American Idol or The Voice with more than 80% accuracy, US elections with more than 90% accuracy and that they did a perfect 15 out of 15 predictions in the 2014 World Cup! Well done Bing Predicts!

At AnalystMaster we also have our Predicting algorithms. We decided to challenge Bing Predicts on the next European Football games by comparing our Predictions with theirs. Although our predictions match on most games, there are few significant differences including “El Clasico” between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Leicester vs. Manchester United or the next Bayern Munich and Juventus games.

See you next week for analysing the results!

AnalystMaster

Premier League Week 19

The first thing that strikes when looking at Bing Predicts forecasts is that it sometimes gives very important winning probabilities.

The Leicester vs. Man United game is a good example. Bing Predicts foresees an easy Man United victory (75%) whereas we think Jose Mouriho’s team will face a much tougher opposition from a team who just took Pep Guardiola’s Man City to penalty kicks in League Cup this week and will be benefiting from the Home Advantage.

Leicester Man United 36% 26% 39% 6% 19% 75%

La Liga Week 17

Our algorithm disagrees with Bing Predicts regarding “El Clasico”. Bing Predicts bets on an clear victory from Real Madrid (56%), probably giving a lot of weight to the Home Advantage.

This could be surprising to who followed the two teams this year: Real Madrid has been struggling this year and is currently 4th of La Liga so far with 31 pts and losing to Tottenham in Champions League, whereas Barcelona has been outrageously dominating the championship with 42 pts and no defeat so far.

Our algorithm on the other side predicts that this game will be too close to call, giving Barcelona a narrow edge at 39% vs. 37% for a Read Madrid win.

Serie A Week 18

Again in Serie A Bing Predicts gives very high probabilities to wins of Udinese (89%), Genoa (81%) or Napoli (89%) which seems quite bold for a game which is in the end quite random. Although we also believe these teams will win, we would not be ready to bet on victories with these odds.

We also predicts that Juventus and AC Milan will have a tougher opposition than Bing Predicts thinks with a winning probability of 42% and 45% vs. a bigger margin of 64% for Bing

Ligue 1 Week 19

Here too Bing Predicts very high odds on some games, especially the 89% for Monaco vs. Rennes. Our algorithm also largely favours a Monaco win, but gives Rennes (who has been doing quite well in the last few games) more chances to draw or to even win that game.

We also think Amiens will exploit their Home Advantage to challenge Ranieri’s FC Nantes at home, and that Montpellier will bring a much tougher opposition to Bordeaux that Bing Predicts seems to believe.

Bundesliga Week 18

Our algorithm predicts a tough time for Bayern Munich at Leverkusen, with a game too close too call. This prediction sounds quite bold when we look at the rankings today: Bayern Munich is at the top of the Bundesliga with 42 pts and Leverkusen at a distance in 4th place with 28 pts. Betting on a Munich win or at least a draw would sound like the reasonable prediction, however we have chosen to leave the algorithm’s results as is as we think that the fact that it gives this game almost equal odds is interesting in itself.

Bing has yet to provide its predictions for Bundesliga matches at this time.
