    Two issues of the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying play-offs L´aszl´oCsat´o* Institute for Computer Science and Control (SZTAKI) Laboratory on Engineering and Management Intelligence Research Group of Operations Research and Decision Systems Corvinus University of Budapest (BCE) Department of Operations Research and Actuarial Sciences Budapest, Hungary 31st August 2021 Tel brille au second rang, qui s’eclipse au premier.1 (Voltaire: La Henriad) Abstract The play-offs of the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying tournament determine the last four participants in the UEFA European Championship 2020. 16 teams, which have failed to obtain a slot in the qualifying group stage, will be selected and divided into four paths of four teams each based on the inaugural season 2018-19 of the UEFA Nations League. We provide a critical examination of the relevant UEFA regulation and show that its articles contradict each other and allow for an unfair formation of the play-off paths: it might happen that all conditions cannot be satisfied simultaneously and a group winner might face stronger opponents than a non-group winner from the same league despite its better performance in the UEFA Nations League. Simple and straightforward solutions for both problems are suggested.

Hintergründe und Aktuelles rund um den deutschen Profifußball. Bei uns aus erster Hand. DFL.de @DFL_Official DFL-Official youtube.com/DFL DFL MAGAZIN E-Paper EDITORIAL Liebe Leserinnen und Leser, zunächst möchte ich meinen herzlichen Glückwunsch an den FC Bayern München zur Deutschen Meisterschaft 2021 aussprechen. Die Mannschaft um Welttorhüter Manuel Neuer und Weltfußballer Robert Lewandowski hat einmal mehr hervorragende Leistungen gezeigt und das lange Zeit sehr umkämpfte Titelrennen entschieden, indem sie sich in den entscheidenden Momenten behauptet hat. Gratulation an alle Spieler, das Trainerteam um Hansi Flick und die Verantwortlichen um Herbert Hainer und Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Mit der Schlussphase einer Saison macht sich stets auch eine gewisse Nostalgie breit. Denn alljährlich ist dieser Zeitraum gleichbedeutend mit dem Abschied von verdienten Persönlich- keiten, die ihre Karriere beenden oder etwa in anderen Ländern noch eine neue Herausforderung suchen. Zwei dieser Spieler sind in diesem Sommer Lars und Sven Bender von Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Die Zwillingsbrüder haben schon frühzeitig erklärt, ihre beeindruckenden Laufbahnen nach zusammen mehr als 500 Bundesliga-Spielen zu beenden. Keine Frage, dass „die Benders“ als Führungsspieler mit besonderer Leidenschaft auf dem Rasen fehlen werden. Mehr zu ihrem Abschied lesen Sie ab Seite 34 der vorliegenden Ausgabe – mitsamt würdigenden Worten von zwei früheren Zwillingspaaren aus der Bundesliga.

  • Hybrid Machine Learning Forecasts for the UEFA EURO 2020 Arxiv
    Hybrid Machine Learning Forecasts for the UEFA EURO 2020 A. Groll * L. M. Hvattum † C. Ley ‡ F. Popp § G. Schauberger ¶ H. Van Eetvelde || A. Zeileis ** June 11, 2021 Abstract Three state-of-the-art statistical ranking methods for forecasting football matches are combined with several other predictors in a hybrid machine learning model. Namely an ability estimate for every team based on historic matches; an ability estimate for every team based on bookmaker consensus; average plus-minus player ratings based on their individual performances in their home clubs and national teams; and further team covariates (e.g., mar- ket value, team structure) and country-specific socio-economic factors (population, GDP). The proposed combined approach is used for learning the number of goals scored in the matches from the four previous UEFA EUROs 2004-2016 and then applied to current infor- mation to forecast the upcoming UEFA EURO 2020. Based on the resulting estimates, the tournament is simulated repeatedly and winning probabilities are obtained for all teams. A random forest model favors the current World Champion France with a winning probability of 14.8% before England (13.5%) and Spain (12.3%). Additionally, we provide survival probabilities for all teams and at all tournament stages. Keywords: UEFA EURO 2020, Football, Machine Learning, Team abilities, Sports tourna- ments. 1 Introduction The use of statistical and machine learning models to predict the outcome of international football tournaments, such as European championships (EUROs) or FIFA World Cups, has become pretty popular in recent years. One model class that is frequently used is the class arXiv:2106.05799v1 [cs.LG] 7 Jun 2021 of Poisson regression models.
