In this work, the authors study the European League Dataset with statistical methods to analyze the game data. Moreover, machine learning techniques are designed to predict the game results based on in-game performance and pre-game odds provided by bookmakers. With rational feature engineering and model selection, our model results in an overall 95% accuracy.
