Why Form Matters More Than Table Position

Looking at the league table tells you where a team has been. Looking at recent form tells you where they are going.

The Last Six Games

Analysts often look at the last six matches as a reliable indicator of current team strength. A team in 10th place that has won five of their last six is more dangerous than a team in 4th that has lost four on the bounce.

Home vs Away Form

Some teams are completely different propositions at home versus away. Our Home table and Away table splits reveal these patterns clearly.

Predicting Upsets

Form-based predictions outperform table-based predictions for upcoming fixtures. A team on a hot streak playing at home against an out-of-form away side is a classic upset recipe.
