CHELSEA "PREDICTED" MOST LIKELY LEAGUE CHAMPIONS.

The CIES Football Observatory has predicted based on their analysis of football, that Chelsea are the most probable side to win the Premier League this season. The CIES was set up in 2005 and is dedicated to the statistical analysis of sport in all its diversity. Their team of researchers is notably specialised in the demographic study of the footballers’ labour market, performance analysis of team and player levels, as well as in the elaboration of predictive models to determine the outcome of competitions.

They had a 60% success rate last season in predicting the Champions of three of the five major European leagues and this term have made their predictions as follows:

These results are based on the following statement on their website:

The scientific statistics model is structured around three axes: practice, international experience and stability.

Practice consists of the number of matches played as a professional during the last five seasons, with particular emphasis on recent and big-5 league games.

International experience consists of the percentage of national A-team matches played during past year, weighted according to results obtained by the country represented.

Stability is the overall average stay of players in their current team, with more importance given to the number of seasons in the first-team squad for defenders and midfielders.

Interesting findings especially at the moment wouldn't you agree?. I hope their prediction this season is true!
