Oracle has won a contract with Premier League to provide it with technology to power new in-match statistics that aim to give a deeper understanding of live action on the pitch.<\/p>\n

Starting with the 2021\/22 season, \u201cMatch Insights \u2013 Powered by Oracle Cloud\u201d will present advanced player performance<\/a> data and statistics during global broadcast coverage, and across the Premier League\u2019s social channels.<\/p>\n

This includes the tracking of player positions, a live win probability scale, and a momentum tracker that measures the likelihood of the team in possession scoring a goal in the next 10 seconds.<\/p>\n

Machine learning models<\/a> are also set to be developed to generate immediate results based on live data streams, real-time tracking data, and facts collected on each of the League\u2019s players and from thousands of previous matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are always looking at new ways to bring the Premier League to life and enhance the analysis of the competition,\u201d said Premier League chief executive, Richard Masters. \u201cOracle is a global brand with a great track record of driving innovation, and we look forward to working together to bring new levels of engagement to fans<\/a> around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oracle’s deal follows similar efforts by tech companies to offer technical expertise to the footballing world, including AWS’s partnership with the Bundesliga last year<\/a>. Germany’s top football league signed up to a range of machine learning, analytical, and storage services to build a statistical platform that provides viewers with real-time data on player statistics, game outcomes, and predictions on future play.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the sports industry was urged to reform its cyber security<\/a> last year after the managing director of a Premier League football club narrowly avoided losing out \u00a31 million to a phishing scam. According to a report from the National Cyber Security Centre, the managing director entered his credentials into a fake Office 365 page operated by hackers. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
