Launched earlier this fall, Match Analysis provides extensive statistics and charts, as well as the projected probability of results for each game in the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1. Built from in-depth analysis of current and historical data, the Match Analysis projections flow from the predictive models developed by Bloomberg Sports engineers, and provide probabilities on the winner, final, half-time score, and total goals. The application also breaks down each of the key game factors and provides a host of original information on a weekly basis designed to enhance the global football fan’s enjoyment and interest in the games of their choosing. Now in its third season, Decision Maker is the ultimate sit/start fantasy football tool which contains the most accurate fantasy projections in the industry.
