Accurately Assess Performance Potential with Odds96 New Id

Form interests’ pundits. This team is performing well. ‘That team’s form is awful.’ You've heard it many times.

Form's transience is the issue. A team's excellent form doesn't mean it will continue or that it was based on anything other than a run of games against weaker teams or, more enigmatic, good luck.

Football betting is more on a team's performance potential than its form. This assessment involves various factors:

Home/Away Performance

Clubs typically perform better at home. The average squad is +0.74 goals better at home than away.

However, home vs. away performance is hotly contested. Some clubs do better at home than away, however this may not be due to home ground advantage. Some observers think a home field advantage is just a run of good play.

Avoid cliches like "Oh this team is always tough at home" when judging a team's performance in a given location. Every team is better on their field, but the idea that some teams have a significant home field advantage is typically false.

Suspensions & Injuries

We must consider injuries and suspensions when evaluating a team. Many underestimate the effects of such absences. Injuries and bans are less important than who will replace them. Is the replacement inferior? Is the absentee easily replaced?

Knowing each team's roster is crucial. The injured centre back is well-known, but how many bettors recognize his replacement's potential?

How many bettors realize how an absence will affect a team's tactics? Understanding a team's roster can help us value football bet. Betting markets often overestimate the impact of an absent star player compared to a lesser-known but reliable performer.

Fixture Needs

Fixture demands increase as the football season progresses. Football bettors must consider this. Like injuries and suspensions, knowing each club's team can help you spot value betting possibilities.

A Premier League club may have league, Cup, and European commitments. Which fittings will they prioritize? How can they change their line-up and how will it affect team cohesion and tactics? Answering these questions correctly usually yields value betting possibilities.

Tactical/Personnel Matches

Boxing styles make battles. Football too. We often see lower-ranked teams beat higher-ranked opponents or at least give them trouble.

In football betting, we want to know if such performances were due to the inferior team's personnel providing a difficult tactical matchup for their opponents, the superior team's congested schedule, or random good fortune.

To fully analyse these performances, we must know each club's squad, tactical setup, and how a team's people may hinder their gameplan. If we can accomplish this and accurately assess which poorer clubs match up well with their higher-ranked opponents, betting value is easy to find.

Create a Predictive Football Betting Model

Smart statistical analysis and computer modelling have made many football bettors rich. How is a football betting model created? Identifying football value bets is the only answer. Some prediction football models use simply goals scored for and against over a specific sample size of matches, whereas more complex models use a variety of statistical categories like:

• Goals For/Against
• Shots For/Against
• Shots On Target For/Against
• Shot Location Goal Expectancy
• Possession Share

The goal of any football statistics model is to predict match (or betting market) outcomes better than bookmakers.

Your football betting model seeks value. It need not find value in every match or betting market. Your algorithm may only find one value bet per Premier League week. 38 bets per season.

Not many?

Imagine if your model covered 40 football leagues. Over 1,000 bets every season follow. Creating and maintaining a clever betting model is difficult, but the rewards are great.
