Predictive Modelling for Football Analytics discusses the most well-known models and the main computational tools for the football analytics domain. It further introduces the footBayes R package that accompanies the reader through all the examples proposed in the book. It aims to be both a practical guide and a theoretical foundation for students, data scientists, sports analysts, and football professionals who wish to understand and apply predictive modelling in a football context.
Key Features
- Discusses various modelling strategies and predictive tools related to football analytics
- Introduces algorithms and computational tools to check the models, make predictions, and visualize the final results
- Showcases some guided examples through the use of the footBayes R package available on CRAN
- Walks the reader through the full pipeline: from data collection and preprocessing, through exploratory analysis and feature engineering, to advanced modelling techniques and evaluation
- Bridges the gap between raw football data and actionable insights
This text is primarily for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of mathematics, statistics, and computer science willing to learn about the football analytics domain. Although technical in nature, the book is designed to be accessible to readers with a background in statistics, programming, or a strong interest in sports analytics. It is well-suited for use in academic courses on sports analytics, data science projects, or professional development within football clubs, agencies, and media organizations.

Ioannis Ntzoufras is a distinguished statistician and academic, widely recognized for his contributions to statistical modeling, Bayesian analysis, and sports analytics. He is a full professor in the Department of Statistics at the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB). He is particularly known for his work in Bayesian statistics, including the development and application of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods and Bayesian variable selection techniques. His research also addresses computational strategies and prior formulation for Objective Bayesian model comparison. These methodologies have been applied across various domains, with a strong emphasis on sports analytics―especially in football (soccer).
He served as Head of the Department of Statistics at AUEB from 2020 to 2025. He was awarded the Lefkopoulion Award by the Greek Statistical Institute in 2000 and is the author of the acclaimed book Bayesian Modeling Using WinBUGS (Wiley), which received an honorable mention in Mathematics at the 2009 PROSE Awards. In addition, he has authored a Greek-language textbook titled Introduction to Programming and Statistical Data Analysis with R, and he has served as the scientific editor for the Greek translations of two influential texts: Andy Field’s Discovering Statistics with R and Bernard Rosner’s Fundamentals of Biostatistics.
Professor Ntzoufras has served as an associate editor for several journals, including the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society C, Statistics, and the Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports. As of April 2025, Professor Ntzoufras has authored 76 peer-reviewed journal articles, accumulating over 6,100 citations and an h-index of 29 on Google Scholar. He remains actively engaged in research, with current projects focusing on Bayesian methodology, variable selection, applied statistics, biostatistics, psychometrics, and sports analytics. His contributions to sports analytics have led to the creation of models that enhance performance prediction and strategic planning in football, basketball, and volleyball.
Dimitris Karlis is a distinguished statistician and academic widely recognized for his contributions to the fields of statistical modeling, discrete valued time series analysis, model-based clustering and sports analytics. He is full professor at the Athens University of Economics and Business, where his research focuses on the development and application of advanced statistical methods for various problems and disciplines. He has served as director of the MSc in Statistics program at AUEB, (2019-today), Director of the Laboratory of Computational and Bayesian Statistics (2017 -today) and vice-President of the Research Committee of AUEB (2019 -today). Professor Karlis has made significant contributions to the statistical analysis of sports data, especially in football (soccer), basketball, handball and other team sports. His work on modeling match outcomes, player performance, and team strategies has had a substantial impact on both academic research and practical applications in the sports industry. He is known for pioneering methods such as the use of generalized linear models and mixed-effects models for analyzing sports data as well as the development of innovative model for various sports.
Leonardo Egidi is a distinguished statistician and academic, recognized for his significant contributions to the fields of Bayesian statistics, sports analytics, and statistical modeling. He is assistant professor of statistics at University of Trieste, where his research primarily focuses on applying advanced statistical methods to real-world problems, with a particular emphasis on sports data analysis, genomics, and predictive modeling.
Professor Egidi is well-known for his work in theoretical Bayesian inference and in football analytics, particularly in the development of models to predict match outcomes, assess player performance, and optimize team strategies. His research includes the application of machine learning algorithms and Bayesian methods to enhance the accuracy of predictions and provide insights into various aspects of the game. He has published extensively in leading academic journals and has collaborated with both academic researchers and sports organizations to advance the field of sports data science.
In addition to his work on football, Professor Egidi has also contributed to statistical methodology in other domains, including economics, biostatistics, and social sciences. His expertise lies in the integration of complex data structures, such as hierarchical models, into practical solutions that can drive decision-making processes.
Beyond his research, Leonardo Egidi is actively involved in teaching and mentoring, fostering the next generation of statisticians and data scientists. His work has made a substantial impact on both the academic community and the sports industry, cementing his reputation as a leading figure in the application of statistics to sports analytics.
He is associate editor for the Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports and the creator and the maintainer of the CRAN R package footBayes.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
