两种预测方法

• 整体预测法

• 过程预测法

整体预测法

• Forecasting the Professional Team Sporting Events: Evidence from Euro 2000 and 2004 Football Tournaments(Ferda HALICIOGLU, 2005 )

• There exists empirical evidence that the tight competition in domestic football would improve international success considerably.

整体预测法(2)

• The seasonal CV(coefficient of variation) values computed from the end-of-season points of a domestic football league.

• Short-term, mid-term and long-term seasonal CV values.

• This forecasting approach provides significantly reliable results in the case of Euro 2000 but not in the case of Euro 2004.

整体预测法(3)

整体预测法(4)

• 优点： Short-term, mid-term and long-term seasonal CV values容易计算或近似，如使用

UEFA的Season country coefficients 和Country coefficients.

• 缺点：没有考虑分组情况、比赛过程；国

内联赛排名与国家队国际比赛并不直接相关。

过程预测法

• 排名与分级

FIFA World Ranking

Elo Ratings System

FIFA World Ranking

特点：官方、公认、积分

方式公开、定期更新

FIFA World Ranking (Calculation)

• Calculation of points for a single match

• M: Points for match result

• I: Importance of match

• T: Strength of opposing team

• C: Strength of confederation

(from fifa.com)

P = M x I x T x C

Elo Ratings System

• ELO等级分制度是指由匈牙利裔美国物理学

家Elo创建的一个衡量各类对弈活动水平的

评价方法，是当今对弈水平评估的公认的

权威方法。被广泛用于国际象棋、围棋、

足球、篮球等运动。(Wikipedia)

• 特点：严格的数学模型、通行于对弈类活

动、方便计算双方胜率、以及根据对阵结

果进行更新反馈。

Elo Ratings System(计分方法)

• Elo模型使用Logistic distribution

• 假设选手(球队)A和B的当前等级分为RA和RB

• 假如选手在比赛中的真实得分与其胜率期

望值不同，则等级分要作相应的调整

过程预测法(2)

• 过程预测法可以充分利用FIFA World Ranking或Elo Ratings System进行单场比赛的预测(后者还可以进行反馈).

• 根据小组赛和淘汰赛阶段的分组对阵情况预测各球队的胜率，进而预测冠军归属。

过程预测法(3)

• 优点：考虑到分组情况、比赛过程等因素；

可以根据实际比赛结果对预测结果进行更

新。在预测模型中可以对球队数据进行反馈。

• 缺点：预测模型复杂，数据量和计算量较

大。

预测实例：The Castrol EDGE UEFA EURO 2012™ Tournament Calculator

• Predict by evaluating each team's attack and defense.

• Together with the structure of the tournament, to predict how well each team will do.

• 过程预测法

The Castrol EDGE UEFA EURO 2012™ Tournament Calculator Explained

• Step 1:use goals scored and conceded to generate the attack and defense ratings for each team. More recent goals are given greater relevance than those scored longer ago.

• Step 2:take the attack and defense ratings and convert them to average number of goals scored for Team A vs Team B.

Home team:Team A: Attack = 0.8 Defense = 1.1Home advantage = 1.4Away team:Team B: Attack = 1.7 Defense = 0.7

Average number of Team A goals:0.8 x 0.7 x 1.4 = 0.784Average number of Team B goals:1.7 x 1.1 = 1.870


• Step 3: feed the average number of goals into a probability distribution model to calculate the likelihood of a team scoring a specific number of goals.

Probability Team A score:0 goals = 46%1 goals = 36%2 goals = 14% etc.

Probability Team B score:0 goals = 15%1 goals = 29%2 goals = 27% etc.


• Step 4:Through these percentages we can calculate the probability of any score.
