A data analysis project evaluating the effectiveness of the GoalImpact metric as an indicator for predicting the results of professional soccer games.
GoalImpact is a metric that rates players based what happens when they're on the field, i.e. the net goals that take place while they play. Specific match probabilities are provided by @GoalimpactOdds on Twitter.
This project seeks to provide a platform to evaluate whether these probabilities can provide a reliable indicator to predict games. GoalImpact predictions are paired with game results provided by http://www.football-data.co.uk/.
