The KickForm Football Formula 

KickForm predictions are based on a statistical model for predictions of football matches, developed by Physics professor Andreas Heuer. To develop its fore𒀰casts, KickForm used this procedure as a foundation since it was proven to be especially accurate. Compared to the odds of bookmakers, predictions according to this model were proven to be even better than those of bookmakers.

 

The Bundesliga Football Formula – 7 Steps

The result of a ꦜfoo🃏tball match is predicted using the following seven steps:

 

Step 1: Determining the Home Advantage

You can calculate the Hܫome Advantage♋ by using the below formula:

 

home adওvantage = c1 (home advantage of the last three years) + c2 (home advantage of the current season)

On average, Home teams tend to score higher (Statistics: 1.66 goals for Home and 1.20 for Away).


Step 2: Calculating the Number of Goals per Match

Goals per match on average, taking into 𒊎account all teams🐟.

Typically, 3 goals are scored in a football match. However, for the sake of precision, the number of goals has decreased over time and now lies at 2.8.


Step 3: Calculating the Performance Level and Expected Goal Difference

Use the below formulas to calculate the perf🐻ormance level and expecte💙d goal difference of a match:

 

Performance level = c1 X1 + c2 X2 + c3 X3 + c4 X4

X1 = me💖an goalscoring difference (GCD) of the previous season, weightin🍒g of the last three years (0.5, 0.35, 0.15)

X2 = goalscoring difference of the current season

X3 = current fitness value (mean 🐷goalscoring d🌃ifference, weighted with a decreasing exponential function)

X4 = logarithmised market value

 

Goal scoring opportunities are much more informative for the purpose of forecasts than goals. Good teams display a slightly better conversion of chances. The prediction becomes a lot more accurate if the goalscoring opportunities of the current and the past season as well as the market value are taken into account. By doing so, correlations of up to 0.67 are made, resulting in a 67% rate of correct predictions.

 

Step 4: Determining the Exceptionality of Promoted Teams

The performance of promoted teams is stunningly well-predetermined. Obvious deviations from the lower half of the table (goal difference: -13 +/- 8) are therefore quite rare.


Step 5: Calculating the Expected Amount of Goals

For every match the total amount of expected goals is similar; however, there are high-per🌠forming teams that score more go꧋als than average.

 

amou🎐nt of goals = c1 X1 + c2 X2 + mean goals per match

X1 = total of goalscoring opportunities in the past w𒊎ith identical weighting-parameters of the la𓆉st 3 years

X2 = efไfective total of goalscoring opportunities in the current season. Here, the total of goalscoring opportunities of all teams is subtracted so that the total of goalscor🎉ing opportunities as compared to the average is determined.

 

Step 6: Calculate the expected goals

Proporti🦄on of the calculated goal difference and the total goals for the respec🌳tive match.

 

Step 7: Matchday Weighting Factor 

Weighting factor for the respective matchday or for stage oꦚf the season.

 

Forecast Results with the KickForm Football Formula 

Example: Dortmund against Schalke

Prediction after using the KickForm Football Formula™: 1.429:1.022

Obviously, no match results in 1.429:1.022 - this is just the average. With the help of the Poisson Distribution, we can calculate these figures f🎃or the distribution𒆙 of 100% using a row of results for each team.

The Poisson Formula itself is as follows: P(x; μ) = (e-μ) (μx) / x!

The following Poisson Distribution has been calcu�🐓�lated from the above example:

 

Goals 0 1 2 3 4 5
Dortmund 23.95 % 34.23 % 24.46 % 11.65 % 4.16 % 1.19 %
Schalke 35.99 % 36.78 % 18.79 % 6.40 % 1.64 % 0.33 %

 

This example shows that:

Dortmund has a 23.95% probability of scoring no goals, a 34.23% probability of scoring one goal and a 24.46% proba🐠𒈔bility of scoring two goals.

Schalke,𝓰 on the other hand, has a 35.99% probability of scoring no goals, a 36.78 % probability of scoring one goal and a 18.79 % chance of scoring two goals.

The most likely result, therefore, is 1:1.

This result will 🎐occur ꦚwith a probability of 12.59%.

 

Creating your own KickForm Football Formula 

KickForm even goes a step further and offers each user the possibility to customise the Formula by using a differ✨ent weighting according to his or her personal predictions. In this way, football fans can, even without a great in-depth knowledge of mathematics, develop their own forecasts on a scientific basis. Registered users can choose factors such as market value, possession, Home advantage, favourite team or Away weakness. Like this, anyone can create their own ไFormula and become a betting expert.

Example: Weighting Factor Home Advantage
You are of the opinion that Home teams (crucially) score more goals. You give the factor Home advan🧸tage more weighting, e.g. + 0.6. Consequently, the result for Dortmund Schalke now amounts to 2.029:1.022, and so the most likely result changes 🥀from 1:1 to 2:1.
