La Liga 2019/20 Season Update
In Spain, Barcelona are two points ahead of Real Madrid and the title surely concerns those two with just eleven games to go, and whilst Barca look to be in the driving seat, this one is too close to call.
At the bottom, Espanyol hold up the table with 20 points and the three relegation places could be filled by any three of the bottom ten, with even 11th placed Osasuna still looking over their shoulders.
One thing that may affect the Spanish league and also Serie A in Italy, is the mental state of the players, and once again it is impossible for us to have any idea which players and teams, will deal with what has happened in their country, better than their colleagues and fellow competitors.
A couple of statistics going forward are that 42% of goals are scored in the first half and 58% in the second half with 13% of goals in the first fifteen minutes of a game and 24% of goals in the last fifteen minutes.

A few stats from the season so far in six of the best leagues in Europe and most of the stats will probably be as you would expect. It is no surprise that the lowest amount of average goals and the least percentage of Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals are in France and Spain, with the most goals clearly in the Bundesliga in Germany.
One stat that does stand out, that I have been aware of for many years, is the low % of away wins in La Liga in Spain, with even the top sides often struggling to win on the road.
Two stats that were not immediately obvious to me, were the high % of away wins in Serie A in Italy and the average goals per game there being nearly 3, which indicates that Italian football is not the negative game it was in the past. Obviously, these stats should only be used as a guideline, but they can be useful when deciding whether something is value.
