The Most Important Football Stats

Football stats weren't as easy to access as they are today. Nowadays, every football enthusiast wants to get their hands on the latest stats and predict their favorite player's next total goals or pass completion. However, not every stat is worth your time, so you need to look for stats to help you make better decisions and be more profitable than others.
The basic football stats you should be looking at are the past six matches of a team you want to bet on and the two teams' head-to-head (H2H) record. However, as managers for the teams change every now and then, H2H records are unreliable for predicting. But some teams still have consistent aspects that stick around them forever.
No matter how good you think a stat is, all of them need to be put into context as not all of them offer a simple explanation of the match. For example, a great team that plays badly may be due to their key striker being injured or staying on the sidelines. It can also be that they're currently experimenting on a new formation.
This podcast covers the two main stats you need to know in football betting: goals and expected goals.
