Title Triumph 2020/21 Behind Rangers’ The Stories Mark Walters, Marco Negri and Lisa Swanson are among the players The Stories Behind Rangers’ featured, as are former directors Dave King, John Gilligan and Paul Murray.

Each approach is applied to two problems: regression and classifi- cation. The last four seasons of English Premier League is collected and analyzed. Each approach and problem is tested several times with different hyperparameters in order to find the best performance.
