The two new stats, \u201cSet Piece Threat\u201d and \u201cSkill,\u201d powered by AWS machine learning and analytics services, enhance the football fan experience and give invaluable strategic insights to teams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. Company, and the Bundesliga, Germany\u2019s top national football league, announced two new Bundesliga Match Facts powered by AWS to give fans deeper insights into action on the pitch. The new Match Facts, \u201cSet Piece Threat\u201d and \u201cSkill,\u201d will debut on March 4, 2022, during Matchday 25 featuring Arminia Bielefeld versus FC Augsburg. \u201cSet Piece Threat\u201d delivers new perspective on a team\u2019s scoring ability from plays such as free kicks and corner kicks, while \u201cSkill\u201d compares Bundesliga players to visualize the skills they bring to their teams and positions.
\nWith these two additions, there is now a portfolio of 10 Bundesliga Match Facts powered by AWS. Bundesliga Match Facts enhance game engagement by helping audiences better understand goal probability and the strategy involved in decision-making on the pitch. The league generates the Match Facts by gathering and analyzing data from live game camera feeds as they\u2019re streamed into AWS. From there, Bundesliga uses AWS capabilities in analytics, machine learning, compute, storage, database, serverless, and media services to glean insights and generate predictions. Bundesliga then uses AWS capabilities to train, deploy, and scale the machine learning models used to generate them and deliver them as on-screen graphics during broadcasts and in the official Bundesliga app. Fans, coaches, players, and commentators can use the Match Facts as visual support for analyzing a team\u2019s decision making.<\/p>\n

Understanding the new Bundesliga Match Facts powered by AWS<\/strong>
\nSet Piece Threat<\/strong>: In modern football, teams score more than a quarter of all goals from set pieces like free kicks and corner kicks. Until now, fans had no reliable way of assessing the threat a team poses from different types of set pieces. \u201cSet Piece Threat\u201d quantifies a team\u2019s threat by comparing the team to the league average to show how much of a threat a team is with their set pieces. During live broadcast games, video editors can use \u201cSet Piece Threat\u201d ahead of free kicks and corners to show how much more danger exists in the current matchup compared to the league average or whenever match commentators want to talk about set pieces and the related strength of a team.<\/p>\n

Skill:<\/strong> In addition to their fundamental talent, every player in the Bundesliga brings some specialized skills to the game that complement those of their fellow players and make their team stronger. The new \u201cSkill\u201d Match Fact combines and compares the cumulative stats of every Bundesliga player to assess their skills across different categories. The stat features four player profiles: a \u201cFinisher\u201d who excels at scoring goals\u2014in terms of number and efficiency; a \u201cSprinter\u201d who generates high maximum speed on regular players and does that more often than other players; an \u201cInitiator\u201d who accumulates, assists, and second assists, consisting of a high number of difficult passes that lead to assists; and a \u201cBall Winner\u201d who is able to create a lot of turnovers from the opposing team by winning the ball in an aerial or ground duel or intercepting an opponent\u2019s pass. Bundesliga ranks each skill by combining several metrics into one score. If a player ranks in the league-wide Top 10 for a given skill, Bundesliga will highlight this player in the live broadcast or in the Bundesliga app when substitutions are shown.
\n\u201cThe pace of the players, the action on the pitch\u2014Fu\u00dfball is nonstop action. Brilliant plays can happen in a blink of an eye. We created the Bundesliga Match Facts powered by AWS to enrich the match experience for millions of fans worldwide, with real-time insights that deepen the viewer\u2019s knowledge and appreciation of the sport and player actions,\u201d said Andreas Heyden, Executive Vice President of Digital Innovations for DFL Deutsche Fu\u00dfball Liga. \u201cTogether with AWS, we\u2019re adding a whole new dimension to the sport, with innovative in-game perspectives that give context on game strategy to help redefine how the world watches football.\u201d
\n\u201cBundesliga fans love their teams and immerse themselves in every detail of the play on the field. That\u2019s why AWS and Bundesliga are always collaborating on new ways to deliver meaningful insights to fans and teams worldwide to create unique viewing experiences and provide clubs with essential player and team data that can help them improve performance,\u201d said Klaus Buerg, General Manager for AWS Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to help Bundesliga differentiate itself among football leagues through advanced analytics, and we look forward to continuously improving the way fans experience sporting events.\u201d
