So this left me to ask the question does statistics really work in football or it just a coincidence that it happens
Statistics is just one of the important factors, as is the current state & motivation of the team for a specific game, missing players for various reasons, home/away game, and of course luck. There is only one logical conclusion, statistics alone will not help, other factors must be taken into account. The one who can analyze all this will have a greater chance of success... but even then success is not guaranteed. There is no guaranteed success in gambling...
