# Models for football prediction This projects has been created to design and test different models for the prediction of football games. The aim of these models is to provide pre-match probabilities to a real-time odds trading model (private project) which will operate on the Betfair Exchange API. ### Current models being developed - XGBoost - (90% Complete) - LSTM Recurrent Neural Network (30% Complete) To DO - Wrap the model in an API and test its ability to serve predictions - Create a dashboard to monitor model performance and post predictions - Host the dashboard on a server, seperated from the model API - Each week, download the fixtures for the upcoming game week and serve them to the model API. - Load the previous years player-level data into this DB and experiment with player-level features.
