Euro club index

The Euro Club Index is a European association football ranking system, devised and updated by the Dutch sports statistics company, Infostrada Sports.

The Index is updated weekly, and gives a ranking of all 723 clubs in the highest division of all European countries, showing their relative playing strengths at a given point in time, and the development of playing strengths in time.

As well as a way of ranking teams, the Index can be used to generate the probability of outcomes matches between clubs, giving a precise percentage for the probability of a win, draw, or loss in each game.
