The Spanish Primera — La Liga — premieres this weekend, and the Segunda starts tonight. So it’s a good time to present our league projections for 2013-14.Segunda División We project that Sporting Gijón will be promoted to the 2014-15 Primera as champions. Mallorca and Real Zaragoza will be involved in a two-way fight for promotion […]
We now move into projecting the league outcomes for the English leagues, and we start with the three divisions of the Football League below the Premier League. The season kicked off last weekend, but the projections aren’t going to be affected by one match.Again, if you want to know how we did these projections, consult […]
This is Part 4 of our European league projections, and we start down under with the Australian A-League, then focus on selected leagues in Central Europe, and finish with Italy, which isn’t in Central Europe but close enough.Again, if you want to know how we come up with these projections, we explain them in Part […]
We continue our league projections for the 2013-14 European season, starting with the decidedly non-European league in South Africa.South Africa: This league kicked off a couple of weeks ago.

The 2012-13 European football season came to an end this weekend, at least in the top flight. It won’t be officially over until the first of July, but it’s time to take a look back at the season and examine which teams were significant performers (or underperformers) relative to their statistical expectations. And once again, […]
It’s the last international break of the 2012-13 European season, so it’s a good time to look at the major European leagues and observe which clubs have been over- or under-performing this season.I don’t need to tell you that the Big Five European leagues are pretty much decided, and have been decided for a while.

Tonight is an important milestone for Soccermetrics, as we present for the first time our initial web-based application that was built using our own web services (APIs). It is called ResultsPage and you can find it at resultspage.soccermetrics.net.The primary motivation behind ResultsPage is to automate the Pythagorean tables that we’ve created since the early days […]
