  1. Hello Mister Crawford,

    My name is Carlos Fernández, I’m a Ph.D. student in Statistics and also a huge football fan. I was wondering if you can provide the data you used for this analysis.

    Best regards,

    Carlos Fernández

    • Hi Carlos, I’m afraid the data is now the property of LiveScore since I was employed by them to do the research and create the algorithm, however, the algorithm is explained in full detail in the video on the LiveScore YouTube channel. Following the steps outlined there and using data available online you will be able to recreate the results. Best wishes, Tom
