Abstract [en]
This thesis is an extension of a football simulator made in a previous project, where we also made different visualizations and simulators based on football data. The goal is to create a football simulator based on a modified Markov chain process, where two teams can be chosen, to simulate entire football matches play-by-play. To validate our model, we compare simulated data with the provided data from Opta. Several adjustments are made to make the simulation as realistic as possible. After conducting a few experiments to compare simulated data with real data before and after adjustments, we conclude that the model may not be adequately accurate to reflect real life matches.
