Project Skellam

Welcome to Project Skellam, a project of mine dedicated to understanding predictions of the performance of sports teams using team-based statistics.

The project is focused currently on the performance of football/soccer teams, though I have plans to look at other sports like AFL (Australian Rules Football), ice hockey (NHL), basketball (NBA) and handball.

I am currently collecting data for the 2023-24 (and 2024) seasons of the following football leagues:

• Brasileiro Serie A
• English Premier League
• English Championship
• English League 1
• English League 2
• English National League
• Spanish La Liga
• Spanish La Liga 2
• French Ligue 1
• French Ligue 2
• German Bundesliga
• German 2. Liga
• German 3. Liga
• Indonesian Liga Satu
• Italian Serie A
• Italian Serie B
• Japanese J1 League
• Japanese J2 League
• Saudi Pro League
• Dutch Eredivisie
• Norwegian Elitserien
• Polish Ekstraklasa
• Portuguese Liga Portugal
• Russian Premier League
• Swedish Allsvenskaen
• Turkish Super Lig
• Ukranian Premier League

These leagues are chosen primarily because they adopt a sole home-and-away round-robin tournament structure, which allows for the consistency of the results.
