The Soccer Factor Model

Bayesian statistics meets the beautiful game: football.

Covering Europe's top five leagues

SFMMO — who wins

Win / draw / loss and the most likely scoreline for every fixture, plus league tables, expected final points and the title race — 117 fixtures forecast right now.

Match forecasts
SFM — who scores

Goal-scoring probabilities for 599 players in the upcoming round, drawn from a universe of 3191 — with skill ratings that separate a player's own ability from the team around him.

Player forecasts

Beat the SFMMO

Call a matchday before the model shows its hand. Its forecast stays hidden until you save your picks — then you see what it said, and how you compare once the results land. No stakes, no money; just whether you were right.
