Euro2024Predictor

Overview

Euro2024Predictor is a Python-based project that simulates the outcomes of UEFA Euro 2024 football matches. It includes functionalities for simulating group stage matches, computing standings, and predicting knockout stage results. The project also provides a Flask web application to display the simulated results.

Features

• Group Stage Simulation: Simulates matches in the group stage based on historical data and win percentages.
• Knockout Stage Simulation: Predicts the outcomes of knockout stage matches.
• Standings Calculation: Computes the standings of teams based on match results.
• Data Transformation: Preprocesses historical match data for simulations.
• Web Interface: Displays the simulation results in an interactive web application.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+
• pip (Python package installer)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Euro2024Predictor.git
   cd Euro2024Predictor

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:
