Few statistics regarding goals in the 4th regular season

Last night is finished the fourth regular season and I had a look regarding the goals.

The Division with most goals is Div.1 with 1.071 goal, followed by Div.5 with 966 and Div.3 for the podium with 972 goals.
Div.2 has done 938 goals, while Div.4 scored the last 881 goal for a total of 4.828 goals.



So we have:

Div.1 1071 22,18% (of the total goals in the season)
Div.2  938 19,42%
Div.3  972 20,13%
Div.4  881 18,24%
Div.5  966 20   %

tot.  4828 goals

We played 1900 games in the regular season (10 matches, 5 Divisions, 38 games) for an average of 2,54 goals each singolar game.
If we had 2,54 goals in each game means that any singolar team "should have scored" an average of 1,27 goal/game and close the season with 48,26 goals. The difference between 4828 and 4826 is because of the decimals.

The teams that leaded the goals show in their respective divisions:

Div.1 Bayern                  103    (9,6% of the Div.goals)  2,70 goal/game
Div.2 Wolfsburg               62    (6,6%)                            1,63
Div.3 Leicester City         67    (6,9%)                            1,76
Div.4 Hellas Verona         66    (7,5%)                            1,73
Div.5 Santos                     72    (7,5%)                            1,89

and who less:

Div.1 Shalke and Zenith   31   (2,9% each one,of the Div.goals)  0,81 goal/game
Div.2 Shakhtar Donetsk    34   (3,6%)                                           0,89
Div.3 Cruzeiro                   34   (3,5%)                                           0,89
Div.4 W.H.U. and Lille     23   (2,6% each one)                            0,60
Div.5 RSC Anderlecht      24   (2,4%)                                           0,63

West Ham United, Lille and RSC Anderlecht scored less than an half of the average.

Regarding the goal difference:

Div.1  Bayern +74                     Lazio  -46      
8 teams with a plus 12 team with a minus in the goals difference

Div.2  Manchester United +21  CSKA Moskva  -19    
11 teams with a plus  9 teams with a minus

Div.3  Sporting CP +22             Stuttgart   -19    
10 teams with a plus 10 teams with a minus

Div.4  Hellas Verona +36           Montpellier HSC      -25      
9 teams with a plus 11 teams with a minus

Div.5  Dynamo Moskva +23      West Bromwich Albion -41    
11 teams with a plus  9 teams with a minus

No team has finished the regolar season in perfect balance between goal scored and got.

How much did effect each goal?

Div.1 Borussia Dortmund  40 goals  53 points  1,32 point/goal
Div.2 Everton                     49           72             1,47
Div.3 Cruzeiro                    34           47             1,38
Div.4 Lille                          23           41             1,78 very "heavy" goal but too few to safe.
Div.5 Dynamo Moskva      54           71             1,31

A lot of goals for few points:

Div.1 Lazio                               47 goals  22 points 2,13 goals for a point
Div.2 CSKA Moskva                39           34            1,14
Div.3 Stuttgart                           36           30            1.20
Div.4 Az Alkmaar                     56           52            1,07
Div.5 West Bromwich Albion   37           21            1,76



Best scorer in each division:

Messi 31 goals as much as Shalke and Zenith. 8 goals more (with 3 games less) than Lille and West Ham United.
Yilmaz 23
Ibarbo 19
Dzsudzsak 20
Damiao 21

Why all this? because if my team would have scored just a goal more two games to the end of the regular season, when we lost at home for 1-0, well, we would have been celebrating the promotion right now. One damn goal!
Sorry for any possible mistake.

  1. Good work Marco - but as you can see, my problem at Wolfsburg was at the other end of the field. Scored most, but let in only about 10 less! Just give me the Liverpool job and it'll feel like real life ... :-)
