Scientist from the Wissenschaftler of Münster have analysed the statistics of the German Bundesliga thoroughly and could characterise a football match as a Poisson-Proces🐎s and like that made football results calculable. The crucial finding of the scientists is that goals in football are a product of coincidence. Goals, however, aren’t a sole game of dice but are influenced by the technical abilities of the players, the so called performance level, of both teams.
In ✅the Bundesliga a typical outcome of match is determined of coincidence by 86%. 14% are no coincidence and distinct a top team from a potentไial relegation team.
Stunning: All teams in the Bundesliga have about the same conversion of chance꧂s.
Home teams score more goals on average. Average 1,66 home and 1,20 away goals. There is an overall home advantage but no evidence༺ that in addition⛎ to that teams perform especially well at home. Thus, home strength is a myth.
Typically 3 goals are scored in a match. To be pre🌺cise, the number of goals has decreased over time and now amounts to 2,8.
Rather not. 4ꦿ6 % of all w🐽ins are based upon a one-goal-margin.
No. Only about 25% of matches result ins draw💖. By implication 75% of matches have a winner!
Yes, but since the middle of the 80s, the number of away wins is constantly getting bigger. While duri🍃ng the 70s🌟 distinctively more than 20% of matches resulted ins away win, that figure already amounted to 33% in the season of 2010/2011.
Extraordinary: On the last two match days about 20% more go🙈als are scored than on average. So: Bet 𝓡on higher results!
The goal differente of past matches is especially informative for the purpose of predictions. It is significantly more iওnformative than the number of points. The expected amount of goals, on t📖he other hand, is quite similar among all teams.
Goalscoring opportunities are a lot more informative for the sake of prognosis. Good teams show a ♏slightly better conversion🔴.
The market value of a team as determined before the start of the season is extremely strongly correlate🦩d with their actu🍸al performance. Rule of thumb: Doubling of the market value = 10 additional points or a goal difference increased by 16 goals.
A season-specific average Perfoꦑrmance level of a team does exist. (Performance level = goal difference that a team scores against a🌼n average opponent)
The coincidence averages out duri⛄ng the course of the season. The longer the season has already progressed, the more reliable goals and opportunities d💯isplay the performances of teams.
A football match is dominated by eff𒈔ects of coincidence. Additionally the performance level of off🦂ense and defense are correlated.
Without effects of coincidence, the difference of goalscoring opportunities would perfect🅘ly predict the performance level.
The goal 🐠difference is determined by effects of coincidence wiꦐth 86% (match day) or 29% (season) on average.
Fluctuations of performance levels f♍rom match day to match day are, therefore, not statistically relevant. The changes of performances levels take place during the summer break and only rare
There are no posit🅘ive series. The concept of a “streak“ is, thus, void. Unfortunately this does not apply for negative series - those do exist. As Andi Brehme famously put it: “When you got shit on your foot, you got shit on your foot!&l𓂃dquo;
In the context of statistical preciseness, the conversion of effective goalscoring opportunities is identical for all teams. For that reason the goalscoring op♋portunities are quite significant for the prediction of goals.
The performance of promoted teams is astonishingly well predetermined. Significant deviat💜ions from the✅ lower half of the table (goal difference: -13 +/- 8) are, thus, extremely rare. For that reason a „march through“ is very special.
With the help of the market value and the effective differente of goals♑coring opportunities you can come closer to the perfect pre♔diction of the second half of the season..
No. In f💜act only in half of the cases the best team wins and becomes German champion at the end of the season.
No. Statistically, there are no bog⛦ey team. The scientist’s search for bogey teams was neಞgative. Looking at it statistically the effect is under 10%.
Of course weꦇ know! But it is enough for today, we will let you know another rime.
