Continuing from my previous post, here is the list of expected saves and goals allowed for all the teams in Argentina’s Primera División 2016-17. Own goals have been ignored, but penalties have not. There may be some discrepancies between the total shots on goal as calculated by DataFactory and by me.The total expected goals allowed […]
My previous post presented my Expected Saves model, and I thank everyone for the response and interest when I tweeted it a few days ago. In this post I’ll apply this model to goalkeeper performance in the previous Primera División championship in Argentina.This analysis takes DataFactory’s match event data from the tournament and calculates expected […]
Last night, I tweeted a teaser for this post that said that the median effective playing time in Argentina’s Primera División matches is in the vicinity of 48 minutes, which is very low for a domestic football competition: Por mis cálculos, la mediana del tiempo efectivo de juego en 1ra División Argentina 16/17 se queda […]
Cuándo pensaba en escribir una nota acerca del rendimiento de los directores técnico en la Primera Argentina, tenía planeado destacar la hazaña de Sebastián Beccacece, anteriormente de Defensa y Justicia y ahora entre los integrantes de la Selección Argentina. Sigo con esos planes, pero al ver los datos del campeonato hay que destacar también el […]
There are a number of narratives that one can use to describe the recently concluded Primera División season in Argentina, and I hope to explore some of them in future posts that review the championship. In this post I’m going to look at the performance metrics to assess the conjecture that Boca Juniors won the […]

A couple of weeks ago I posted a list of the top players in Argentina’s Primera División by expected goals. Let’s look at how the table looks with eight matchdays to go. (There remain a couple of matches to be played in Round 22.)It’s always beneficial to compare the expected goals of shot events with […]
Argentina’s Primera División championship has entered the final third of the season, and Boca Juniors — who have led for much of the tournament — now find themselves in a three-way scrap for the title. And it is not inconceivable that three or even four other sides will join the fight.Below is an enlarged league […]
En la entrada previa presenté la estructura de un modelo de expectativa de gol y la estrategia para entrenarlo. Vamos a aplicarlo al torneo actual de la Primera División Argentina por la gentileza de DataFactory. Ya van 20 jornadas del campeonato, así que faltan 10 fechas de este torneo larguísimo.La tabla de posiciones, para los […]
In my previous post I presented my approach to building and testing expected goal models that I use in the future. I’ve been working with DataFactory‘s data from the Argentina Primera División, so I will apply the xG model to create a table that competition. This table is valid for matches played before this weekend […]
