Predicting Soccer Match Outcomes Using Deep Learning: A Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Approach

Venkata Sai Swaroop Reddy Nallapa Reddy


Abstract: Soccer is a dynamic and unpredictable sport influenced by various factors, including team strategies, player performances, and in-game events. Accurately predicting match outcomes has long been a challenge for analysts and researchers due to the sport's inherent complexity and the interplay of numerous variables. This paper introduces a robust deep learning framework leveraging Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks enhanced with an attention mechanism to predict soccer match outcomes. Unlike traditional machine learning models, which struggle to capture the sequential nature and critical events within a match, LSTMs excel in analyzing temporal dependencies. The attention mechanism further enhances predictive accuracy by focusing on pivotal moments, such as goals, red cards, or tactical substitutions, which significantly impact match results. Our model was trained on a comprehensive dataset of over 10,000 matches from major leagues and tournaments, incorporating features such as player statistics, team performance metrics, weather conditions, and match venue characteristics. The proposed system demonstrated a significant improvement over traditional models, achieving a prediction accuracy of 92%, with an AUC-ROC score of 0.95, outperforming Random Forests and Logistic Regression models. This research not only provides a novel approach to modeling sequential and contextual data in soccer but also offers actionable insights for coaches, analysts, and fans. By highlighting the critical moments that determine outcomes, the study opens pathways for real-time predictions and strategy development, showcasing the transformative potential of deep learning in sports analytics.
