Football or Soccer for our Ethiopian friends is more than just a game. It is played by 250 million players in over 200 countries making it the most popular sport. Each of these countries has a domestic league of their own in which teams compete for being labelled the best football team of that country. Being the staunch football fan I am, I decided to investigate the most popular domestic league of the world ((English Premier League) for factors that can influence the outcome of any match. This was my first proper data analysis project and I'm not necessarily aiming to use the results obtained to make a model or a prediction system. This project just aims to satisfy my obsession with football as well as get my hands dirty working as a Data Analyst.
The data set was obtained through http://www.football-data.co.uk/data.php. The data sets have been attached as separate files in the repository. A file containing the description of the data set has also been attached. Some columns related to betting statistics are missing from the data but playing statistics are there.For this particular project, I decided to download data for the last 21 seasons of EPL starting from 2000-01 season to 2020-21 season.
Finally i trying to improve the accuracy of prediction using deep learning as soon as possible
