Swansea V Cardiff [Stats & Facts]
at 23:33 21 Oct 2013

Hello Im new to this forum but there has been something that has been getting on my tits and I wanted to share and discuss with my fellow Jacks. and that is:

Is the constant praise that Cardiff seem to be getting Justified? And are we having a poor start like some may suggest.

To do this I decided to look at all the match statistics so far focusing on:
Total shots made, shots made on target, shots taken by opposition, shots on target by opposition and possession average to determine the performance of each team. And have come up with a performance score based on the total.

Results

Cardiff: Possession Av 46.13% Opposition 53.88% [Score -7.75]
Swansea: Possession Av 56.75% Opposition 43.25% [Score +13.5]

Cardiff: Total shots 84, opposition shots 143 [Score -59]
Swansea: Total shots 109, opposition shots 93 [score +16]

Cardiff: Shots on target 19, opposition 51 [Score -32]
Swansea: Shots on target 46, opposition 28 [score +18]

Cardiff: Goals scored 8, Conceded 15 [score -7]
Swansea: Goals scored 12, conceded 11 [score +1]

Total Points:

Cardiff: -105.75
Swansea: +48.50

Ok there may be other variables that could be argued, but looking at the statistical facts I will say Cardiff are being massively overrated and have been riding on luck a bit and statistically we seem to be preforming very well and just need a little more luck on our side.

Also I also would like to point out that the statistics can quiet our critics who say our style is boring and that we tend to keep pointless possession!!!!!!
