The data will be used to power features on the league’s official communication channels, with advanced Opta Analytics Insights, including Expected Goals, Defensive Coverage and a Possessions Framework included.
It will also be made available to the league’s 12 clubs for use on their websites and to the league’s broadcast partner, Markíza – Slovakia, for use on its digital platforms, with Opta’s data visualisation widgets to provide insights like heat maps, chalkboards and pass matrixes.
Coaches, analysts and performance staff at the clubs will have access to Stats Perform’s ProPortal tool, as well to a live performance insights feed during matches.
