Abstract:
The project applies advanced AI to predict football results in the betting field. It implements a Temporal Fusion Transformer capable of generating multivariate predictions (goals, corners, cards) with high precision and interpretability, integrated into a modern architecture (FastAPI, PostgreSQL, React). The platform allows for specific and day-by-day predictions and offers a searchable history. Backtesting over the last 10 days (100 matches) achieves a 50% 1X2 accuracy; it underestimates goals, shots and corners and overestimates yellow cards. Low response times and consistency validate the system. Future: better calibration, more context, real time and expansion.
