Observations 🔭 

It’s 11 games in - all clubs have 5 or 6 home and away matches played, and there are some interesting developments.

• Brentford! GREAT at home and SHITE on the road.

  • 16 points at home, 0 on the road

  • 18 goals scored at home, 3.0 per match yet averaging less than a goal per match on the road and allowing 2.2.

• Spurs data tells us what we already know, scoring at home (goal differential +10) and allowing goals on the road (goal differential 0).

• Chelsea, Ipswich, and Forest have more points on the road than at home and Chelsea and Forest have played one fewer game on the road than at home.

• Home Teams - 7 have “+” goal differential, 10 “-” and 3 “0”.

• Away Teams - 12 have “+” goal differential, 8 “-”.

• 11 Teams average 1 point or less on the road, 6 teams do so at home.

• Chelsea & Villa are a couple big runs at home to becoming “dominant”.

• Spurs are so Spursy.

• 0 Road Point is quite an accomplishment.

• Forest, Chelsea and Villa are enjoying the road more than home cooking - and for different reasons.

  • Forest allowing less than a goal per match when on the road.

  • Chelsea are averaging 2.4 goals per match on the road, most in the PL.

  • Villa have been about the same stats home and away.

• Look at United’s scoring, terrible.
