When it comes to the beautiful game of football there are allot of history or statistics that is created and these statistics gets to play out in the future Tottenham won this years europa league title and Tottenham coach boosted about him winning a trophy in his second season as a manager in any club that he finds himself and many people laugh over it and eventually the history of Ange Postecoglou winning a trophy in his second season has come out to be true again
So this left me to ask the question does statistics really work in football or it just a coincidence that it happens
Not always but usually, yes.
Although it remains to be said that nobody can create 100% accurate statistics, therefore there will always be a chance that it does not go as planned. What matters is that it goes as planned more than half the time, which turns the probability in your favor, over a long run with more than a single match.
Probability is mathematics, so there is nothing dodgy behind it.
