Dear Client,
I am writing to express my strong interest in compiling match statistics from Sofascore into an Excel file for your company. Based on the job description, you require a freelancer with skills in web scraping, data extraction/manipulation, and Excel to retrieve and organize statistics from 3 soccer matches.
As an experienced data analyst, I believe I am well-qualified for this project. Over the past few years, I have worked on several web scraping projects to extract large datasets from sports, news, and financial websites. I am proficient in Python libraries like Beautiful Soup and Selenium to automate data retrieval.
Additionally, I have extensive experience cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing scraped data using tools like Pandas, NumPy, and Excel. For example, in previous roles I developed web scrapers to extract player stats from NBA/NFL box scores into organized Excel sheets.
For this particular project, I am confident that within the specified timeframe I can build a scraper to retrieve the required match statistics from Sofascore and compile them into a formatted Excel file with separate sheets for each match. I welcome the opportunity to discuss any other specifications or deliverables for the project.
Thank you for your consideration. Please let me know if you would like to discuss my qualifications or the scope of work in more detail. I look forward to speaking with you further.
Sincerely,
Hans
