Win Probability Over Time (Continued)


Allright, I will continue to show and explain what I found while toying with the data.

A)  Trailing by 2

 
So now, we’ll continue our journey. 

 
The graph is really interesting. Despite no strong correlation, we can see that there are two sorts of sub-graphs. After the thirtieth minute, winning chances drop significantly from 21,05% to 7,69%. Then we see that the data are close. We have a R² of 0.71 for [35-90] minutes. The first 30 minutes are more interesting. Even if the number of events is low, because it’s not usual to concede 2 goals quickly in the game we can still draw some conclusions from this.
We have an odd phenomenon around the twentieth minute, with winning chances increasing then dropping.  As previously observed, the winning chance increases after the twentieth minute so the manager effect hypothesis is starting to seem likely.


B)  Trailing by 3


Not much to say here, as there is so few teams that came back from such a scenario. 

 
It’s hard to develop a model for this situation without overstating winning chances.


C)   Trailing by 4


Same story as before, not much to analyze.

 
There are no data for earlier than the thirtieth minute, because teams are not bad and don’t let opponents score too easily. Of the ten times a team was trailing by 4, only one achieved to tie the game.  


D)  Trailing by 5 and 6


No need to put the graphs here, as the Win% is 0% whatever how much is left. One could say that a 4 goal lead when away is 100% sure to yield the three points.

Goals created and Wins created

Like many others, I have the MCFC data set. I used it to toy with data and created two new statistics. In fact three, I'll explain later. The main thing I tried to do is to assess the impact of a player on the season in terms of scoring opportunities and wins. So first of all, I did some computation, and selected the data I needed:  - Appearances  - Assists  - Big Chances  - Goals  - Key Passes  - Time Played  - Shots I have to say that I'm not too happy with the data set. Many events are not recorded with a name, so you have data that cannot be used when you look at player production. But I managed to do what I wanted with the data. All data are from the MCFC data set, I rely on them for accuracy. First thing I looked at: topscorers. Rank Player full name Goals 1 Robin van Persie 30 2 Wayne Rooney 27 3 Sergio Agüero 23 ...

Different leads for away team analysis

As I did yesterday with home team leading, I did the same analysis for home team trailing or away team leading. First we'll look at the one-goal differential, home team being down. By taking a quick look, one sees that 1-2 gives the home team the highest chance of coming back. When the score is 2-3, the probability of coming back is smaller. As someone pointed out in a comment, this can be due to ability of adversary teams to score. It means that in a high scoring game, you have less chance to win, because either your defence is bad or your opponent's offence is strong. Strangely, 0-1 is not the best score you can hope to see so your team maximisizes its winning chances. But the difference is relatively small with the 1-2 score. Now ce can take a look at a two-goal deficit for home team. As previously observed, 1-3 is better than 0-2 in terms of winning opportunity. My guess is that scoring a goal gives the home team a moral boost, whereas at 0-2 the players just...
