See Football Beyond the Scoreline
Football Hacking is an independent publication for readers who want to understand what happens beneath the final result.
Here, football is examined through passing networks, centrality measures, Expected Threat (xT), tactical structures, team performance indicators, and predictive models such as Poisson, Dixon-Coles, and Monte Carlo simulations.
What You’ll Find
In-depth, data-driven match analysis
Tactical interpretation of passing networks
Expected Threat (xT) analysis
Team structure, influence, progression, and spatial balance
Probability-based match predictions
Practical insights for football analysts, enthusiasts, and responsible bettors
Clear explanations of advanced football metrics
The purpose is not to overwhelm you with numbers. It is to turn complex football data into conclusions you can actually understand and use.
Independent Analysis, Original Methodology
The analyses are produced using football event data and original models developed in Python. Artificial intelligence may assist with organizing and editing the written content, but the methodology, interpretation, and conclusions remain my own.
Match reports based on data do not rely on match footage unless explicitly stated. They examine the game through its underlying structure: how teams circulated the ball, created threat, controlled important areas, influenced possession, and responded to different phases of play.
