Analyzing Soccer Training Sessions to Predict Player Match Performance

This research analyzes performance data from training sessions of male soccer players to predict player performance in subsequent matches. The model is developed based on training performance in sessions leading up to games to predict each player’s match performance capabilities prior to their next match taking place. The outcome of this study will help identify how various training loads leading up to a match affect player outcome and creates a platform for coaches to optimize their starting lineup and player substitutions throughout the duration of the game based on performance predictions.
