“We are happy to improve the existing processes at Bayer 04 Leverkusen and support the club with unique insights that are currently unavailable to German competitors,” said Stephan Hanke, VP European Sales at Stats Perform. “It will be an exciting season in the Bundesliga and we’re looking forward to being part of this journey.”
Marcel Daum, assistant coach (analysis) at the Werkself: “This is my fourteenth year in professional football and data is now a permanent feature in our daily work. Edge Analysis enables us to move from descriptive analysis to predictive analysis in football. That’s the difference between Edge Analysis and other tools in the sector and it was the main factor in our decision to work with the platform.”
The new functions of Edge Analysis for the 2020/21 season, which are all based on patented models using artificial intelligence, offer new insights into a team’s match characteristics, changes to their tactical formation during a game, the forward movement of the ball and the effect of each player on the generation of goalscoring opportunities that can all be used to determine game strategies against any opponent. Edge Analysis is already being used by clubs in Ligue 1 (France) and Serie A (Italy), including Stade Rennes, who used the platform throughout the 2019/20 season on the way to qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.

It's a thrilling situation: as the season draws to a close, Stuttgart and Bayer 04 are heading into the home stretch almost neck and neck. After 32 games, with 17 wins, seven draws and eight defeats each, both teams are on 58 points. Even in terms of goals scored, VfB and the Werkself are level on 66. The Black and Reds have conceded just three fewer goals (43) than their rivals (46), which is why they sit one place behind fourth-placed Leverkusen. This Saturday, 9 May (kick-off: 15.30 CEST), the two teams go head to head at the MHP Arena in Stuttgart. The lowdown on our next opponents.
