Bing: the search engine owned by Microsoft now offers a football score predictor service

Bing, the search engine owned by Microsoft, has launched a score predictor service for Ligue 1, Premier League, Liga BBVA, Bundesliga, Serie A TIM and Champions League matches, announced the US electronics and micro-computing group, on 18/03/2016.

To calculate the predictions, Microsoft has developed an algorithm that analyses data of the featured teams, such as their previous results, the match venue, the weather, and more. This data is coupled with the opinions of internet users, harvested from social networks.

This information, compiled and analysed with the help of machine learning techniques, is used to assign each team a percentage of probability for a victory, draw or defeat.

• To access the predictions, just type the name of a competition, match or team into the search engine Bing.com.
• The system correctly predicted a victory for FC Barcelona in the 2014-15 Champions League, (won 3-1 against Juventus, on 06/06/2015 in Berlin, GER).
