Goals by Interval: how to know when a team usually scores the most?

What are Goals by Interval?

The Goals by Interval Table shows at which moments of the match a team usually scores and concedes goals.

The data is split into different periods of the match, letting you quickly see in which phases goals occur most often.

What can you analyse?

In the table you can check, for each interval:

• goals scored;
• goals conceded;
• total goals;
• occurrence percentage.

The percentage shown refers to the occurrence of at least one goal, scored or conceded, in that interval.

Why does it matter?

Analysing goals by interval helps you identify patterns throughout the match.

For example, you can see:

• in which period a team scores most frequently;
• in which minutes it tends to concede the most goals;
• which periods have the most activity;
• when there may be an increase in attacking pressure.

This data can help put the analysis of markets such as Over Limit or Under into context, taking the team’s usual pattern into account.

Example

If a team frequently scores between minutes 31 and 45, that period may be relevant when assessing whether there is a pattern of greater attacking activity in that phase of the match.

What matters is not looking at a single match, but at how often a given behaviour occurs.

Watch out for the last 15 minutes

It is common to see more attacking activity in the last 15 minutes of the match, between minute 76 and the end of the match.

For that reason, a higher percentage should be required before considering that period especially relevant.

If, for example, the 31-HT and 76-FT intervals show the same percentage, it may make sense to give more weight to 31-HT, since the final period of the match naturally tends to show more attacking activity.
