2016 Champions League Final Prediction

Prior to the start of the knockout rounds of the Champions League, AccuScore made two bold predictions:
1. The 2016 Champions League Final in Milan would be an all Spanish affair
2, Real Madrid would win the 2016 Champions League.

To clarify, AccuScore predicted a Barcelona versus Real Madrid El Clasico final, but the computer predicted that Real Madrid would win the Champions League final. Even with Barcelona and Bayern Munich still remaining in the competition at that stage, the computer's willingness to select Real Madrid to win the European crown speaks volumes in its belief in Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid. Including extra time and penalty kicks, Real Madrid is a 72.9% favorite to win the 2016 Champions League.

The information in the following infographic below is available for every for every soccer match in Europe's biggest league and even for the upcoming European Championships over the summer. Normally, one would have to be a member to receive this information, but we thought we'd share the final (Use Code: Champs for 30% off and join here!)

2016 Champions League Predictions Infographic

Clearly, AccuScore likes Real Madrid to win, and Ronaldo has plenty to do with that. CR7 is the most likely scorer with a 57.4% chance of scoring. Karim Benzema is projected for about a three to one shots to goal ratio, and that makes him the second most likely scorer on Saturday. For Atletico Madrid, the computer simply doesn't think it has enough fire power. Antoine Griezmann has a 31.8% chance of scoring, but the dropoff to Saul at 15% is dramatic. Fernando Torres has a 9.3% chance of scoring in the final.

At the bottom of the infographic are the meat and potatoes. The final score of 1.66 for Real Madrid and 0.92 for Atletico Madrid means that AccuScore is projecting a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid with a 1-1 game at 90 minutes the next most likely outcome. Considering 46.9% of simulations when over 2.0 goals, AccuScore is leaning to the over. However, there is no official pick on this game because neither the Over or the Under went over 50% in simulations.

Purely based on value, Real Madrid to win in 90 minutes is a good bet. Our computer converted the odds into a percentage for each possible outcome (win, loss and draw). The odds suggest that Real Madrid only has a 39.0% chance of winning in 90 minutes, while AccuScore thinks that number should be 53.2%. The draw is the second most likely outcome at 27%, but there is no value on that pick. Also, handicapping Real Madrid's victory makes sense since Los Blancos won by two or more goals 29.6% of the time.

What is Accuscore?


Accuscore provides predictive analytics on sports, based on the company’s own algorithmic simulation engine which has been under constant development for almost two decades. Sports predictions are an outcome of simulations in which individual games are simulated for thousands of times in order to arrive to the most likely results. These results are then used to create analytical predictions, content and advice for bettors, pundits or any stakeholders in the industry or media field. For the individual US users, Accuscore’s predictions can be accessed through subscription to BetQL.

The Accuscore simulation engine uses the relevant historical data of the players, teams and leagues to predict the outcomes of the games before they have started. The simulation results are based on the individual player performances and weighted according to the teams’ form, opponent and other circumstances that have been proven relevant to the outcome of the match. We have managed to filter out the unnecessary data-points by determining which are important and which are not – this has taken several hundreds of thousands of simulations, cross-references and comparisons of simulation results to actual outcomes.

Accuscore aims to provide independent, unbiased and objective sports predictions for all the customers. We strive to be transparent and all our simulations results are available in the archives. Throughout the years Accuscore has worked with several betting companies, for example Pinnacle and Coolbet, media houses such as Telia and Sporing News, sports teams and leagues, and of course individuals through our subscription service.

Our capabilities include tailoring the sports predictions service to any B2B need with different licensing models, revenue sharing programs or affiliate markets. We can package content based on the simulations in several different ways, which can include automated widgets, unique articles, videos or pure numbers from a feed – whatever suits your needs!

How to use Accuscore sports predictions?

Accuscore’s simulations provide various advantages for both businesses and individuals. The simulations are based on a sovereign algorithmic system and all the simulations are always ran the exact same way. The only variables are the data inputs which the simulation engine then uses to create the sports predictions according to the algorithmic model. The model has a proven track record and for example the NFL picks have provided constant profit over the years.

The simulations provide probabilities for the outcomes of the games which include – depending of the sport – for example the most likely final result, the amount of goals or points and player performances. These sport predictions can be compared to odds in order to make a more educated betting decision or they can be used to support, oppose or adjust ones view on the betting market.

For businesses the sports predictions provide an opportunity to use original content in various forms which can be modified to suit any need, for example: providing more information to customers, attracting traffic or users, as unique content to publish or for other marketing purposes such as short videos for social media. We are happy to tailor our service for each B2B customer.
