Probably, you would like to know how to predict the outcome of sporting events. If so you should know that this is not an easy thing to do. Though there are some people, some of them are professional gamblers, who can predict the outcome of a soccer game almost 100 per cant correctly. These people usually can make a good living from it.

It’s an important thing for team managers to be able to predict how this or that match is going to end. The reason is that a team manager has to plan a team's season, it is easier when knowing which games to focus on and which ones to leave more to hope.

It’s true that there are some sports journalists that are good at predicting a match outcome. It’s not just about a work or a gut feeling but there is a science to sport. It’s true that knowing some factors that can influence match outcome, you too can be successful at predicting match results.

In this article I’ll tell you about the factors that may influence soccer match outcome.

Let’s begin with such an important thing as league position. It’s true that this factor is very important while deciding who's most likely to win a game. Be attentive to the position of the teams in the league table. If the situation is that there are a number of places separating the two teams in the table then the higher team is most often going to win. If the teams are close together then they may play in a draw. One more important detail, at the beginning of the season the league position is not that effective as it is in the middle of it. At the matter of factthat at the start of the season there aren't enough results to make a reliable prediction. And at the end of the season the teams are simply tired.

One more important thing is whether the team is playing home or away. The exceptions are the leagues were almost all matches are played at home. This factor has it’s influence because of the crowd. It often happens that the team need to go a long way to the hosting country and only few fans come with them to support. Such a situationmake the stadium a hostile environment. It can happened that the crowd has an influence on the referee. Though it shouldn’t happened. You may know that referee has to make dozens of decisions in the course of the match, and the presence of a large crowd of jeering supporters can effect the referee's judgment.

It was scientifically tested that can be two configurations of teams play: one for home and one for away. It was proved that away teams will often be more cautious and play a defensive mid-fielder in place of one of the strikers. Truly such a play manner can reduce the possibility to win closely to nil.

For you to count the home advantage in a league you are to add up all the home wins over a season and compare it with the number of away wins.

Here are only a few factors that my influence the football match. I’ll tell you about the rest of them in my next article.
