Introducing Match Analysis Part 3: Game Analyzer
SciSports recently released the Match Analysis solution for professional and youth professional football organisations.
The Match Analysis application links game events to video, and provides data-driven tools and reports to uncover insights from one or more games.
Within this four part series – we will introduce the full scope of our product and take a closer look at how it will provide direct benefits to our users.
Date
After covering Part 1: Event Viewer, Playlists & Folders and Part 2: Match Reports & Custom Video XML, in today’s third part we take a closer look at the Game Analyzer feature which is broken down into Sequences, Passing Network & Passing Matrix.
Sequences
A sequence is a continuous period of play in which a team is in possession of the ball
With the Sequences feature you have the ability to dive deeper into sequences that happened during one or multiple matches. Unique about this feature is that you can quickly find patterns using sequence start, end, outcome and other components.
You can see whether the sequence is positive, neutral or negative, and selecting a sequence will show you the corresponding video. The sequence feature gives you a better picture over the entire period of ball possession. So as an analyst, you get a better picture of what really happened during the match.
Passing Network
The Passing Network module enables you to analyze the passing structure of a team, specific lines, or individual players across one or multiple matches. This module stands out due to its interactive elements, allowing for the examination of passing patterns from multiple perspectives.
Additionally, users can view the number of passes a player has received and given. You can also specify whether you are looking for positive, neutral, or negative outcomes of the passes.
Selecting a pass will provide you with the corresponding video of that pass. This feature allows you to visually analyze the context and execution of each pass, enhancing your understanding of the team’s passing dynamics and individual player performance.
Passing Matrix
The Passing Matrix illustrates the number of passes exchanged between each pair of players, including their totals. A darker gradient indicates a higher number of passes. On the vertical axis, the names of the passing players are listed.
Each name is paired with a number, which corresponds to the players on the horizontal axis who receive the passes. You can also specify whether you are looking for positive, neutral, or negative outcomes of the passes.
This allows you to identify which players have a strong connection and easily find each other, as well as those who struggle to connect.
For the sequences, passing networks, and matrix functions, once you have created your own analysis by filtering the data, you can easily share the URL with colleagues within the same account.
Stay tuned for the final part of the ‘Introducing Match Analysis’ series.
