Better decisions, better results
We believe that sports clubs can make better decisions using advanced data analytics. In recent years, there has been a revolution in sports statistics, with sports clubs flooded with information. Sports Solver was created to help them navigate this stream of data, understanding metrics and separating signal from noise so as to improve decision processes.
We offer independent analysis based on facts supported by data and skilfully interpreted. We pride ourselves on our flexibility and ability to provide bespoke services. Our offer is for:
Clubs
that want to make better strategic decisions, for example when signing players or managers.
Scouting divisions,
where Sports Solver can assist in verification of players and identifying talent.
Managers and coaches
interested in data-based audits of their own team’s performance and their rivals.
Football federations
that want to statistically monitor the development of players and teams across all levels.
Sports Solver was set up by people who have been working with data for years (including data management, analytics, and forecasting), and people with very considerable experience in the football world, both in Poland and internationally. Our company combines breakthrough project Ekstrastats, which had a big positive impact on the data dimension of Poland’s top league, with many years’ experience in business, finance and economics. Our statistical approach is complemented with expert knowledge of the beautiful game.
