Future Predictions & xG as input #5

Hi,

thanks a lot for this amazing package - def. great work and looknig forward to the next version!

I have two questions: How can i make predictions on the future - e.g. matches that are not played yet? Lets assume we train on the current Serie A season - is it possible to predict the next matchday? When i put in matches with NA as h_goals i get an error. I guess i could make a workaround with assigning a dummy result like 10-10 and exlude it using the predictins option?

Secondly - does the algorithms work with decimal inputs rather than actual integers (goals)? I think of putting in expected Goals metrics like 2.32 xG home team, 0.37 away team....

Kind regards Malte
