Abstract: In this study, we have compared manual machine learning with automated machine learning (AutoML) to see which performs better in predictive analysis. Using data from past football matches, we tested a range of algorithms to forecast game outcomes. By exploring the data, we discovered patterns and team correlations, then cleaned and prepped the data to ensure the models had the best possible inputs. Our findings show that AutoML, especially when using logistic regression can outperform manual methods in prediction accuracy. The big advantage of AutoML is that it automates the tricky parts, like data cleaning, feature selection, and tuning model parameters, saving time and effort compared to manual approaches, which require more expertise to achieve similar results. This research highlights how AutoML can make predictive analysis easier and more accurate, providing useful insights for many fields. Future work could explore using different data types and applying these techniques to other areas to show how adaptable and powerful machine learning can be.
