🏟️ EPL Match Statistics (2000–2024) – Exploratory Data Analysis

Author: Ori Berger

Dataset: Premier League Match Data (Hugging Face)

📊 Overview

This project performs an Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on 9,380 English Premier League matches from the 2000/01 to 2024/25 seasons.
The dataset includes match-level statistics such as goals, shots, corners, fouls, and cards for both home and away teams.

🎯 Objective

To analyze which in-game statistics most strongly influence match outcomes (FullTimeResult = H/D/A)
and to identify performance patterns that explain winning behavior in football.

🧹 Data Cleaning

  • Verified that no duplicate matches exist.
  • Checked for missing values (minimal and left unchanged).
  • Parsed match dates and standardized team names (e.g., “Man Utd” → “Manchester United”).
  • Converted result columns (FullTimeResult, HalfTimeResult) to categorical data types.

🚨 Outlier Handling

  • Outliers found in shots, corners, and fouls were analyzed using z-scores (|z| ≥ 3).
  • These values were kept since they represent authentic extreme matches (e.g., red cards or large wins).

📈 Descriptive Statistics

  • Average goals per match: 2.72
  • Average home goals: 1.57 | Average away goals: 1.15
  • Home advantage: 46% wins, 25% draws, 29% losses.
  • Strong correlation: goals ↔ shots on target (r ≈ 0.78).

🔍 Research Questions & Key Insights

1️⃣ Does playing at home significantly affect match outcomes?
→ Yes — home teams win nearly half their games, confirming a clear home advantage.

2️⃣ How are shots and shots on target related to goals?
→ Strong positive correlation — more shots on target strongly increase goal likelihood.

3️⃣ Do corners reflect attacking dominance?
→ Winning teams average ~2.5 more corners than losing teams.

4️⃣ Do yellow cards or fouls influence match results?
→ Losing teams receive slightly more yellow cards on average, but correlation is weak.

5️⃣ How do goal trends evolve over time?
→ Average goals per match remain steady (~2.7) across the last two decades.

📊 Visualizations

  • Histogram: Distribution of total goals per match.
  • Scatter plot: Shots on target vs goals scored.
  • Bar charts: Averages by match result (shots, corners, cards).
  • Line plot: Average goals per season (2000–2024).

Each plot is clearly labeled with titles, axes, and legends.

🧠 Conclusions

  • Home advantage is a consistent and statistically significant trend.
  • Shots on target are the strongest predictor of winning matches.
  • Corners serve as a reliable proxy for attacking dominance.
  • Disciplinary actions (cards) have limited predictive value.
  • Overall, the EPL remains a balanced and high-scoring league over time.
