Alright, so today I wanted to dive into the stats between Criciúma and Fortaleza Esporte Clube. I’m a big fan of digging into the numbers, so I figured, why not track my whole process and share it with you guys?
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to find a reliable source for the stats. You know how it is, there’s a ton of info out there, but not all of it is accurate. I spent a bit of time browsing around, checking out a few different sports sites.
Gathering the Data
Once I found a source I felt good about, I started pulling the data. Now, this part can be a little tedious, I won’t lie. I was looking at things like:
- Past Match Results: Who won, who lost, and by what score?
- Goals Scored: How many goals did each team typically score against each other?
- Possession: Which team tended to control the ball more?
- Shots on Goal/Shots on Target
- Maybe some other things, like fouls, maybe corners.
I basically just started copying and pasting key stats into a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy, just a way to keep everything organized. I went game by game, noting the date, the final score, and any other relevant details I could find.
Analyzing My Findings
Okay, so with all the data collected, it was time to actually make sense of it. I started looking for patterns. Did one team consistently outperform the other? Were the games usually high-scoring or more defensive battles? Did home-field advantage seem to play a big role?
I’m not gonna lie, sometimes it felt like I was staring at a bunch of random numbers. But then, slowly but surely, little trends started to emerge. For instance, maybe I noticed that Fortaleza tended to dominate possession, but Criciúma was more efficient with their scoring chances.
Putting It All Together
My favorite part! This is when I get a complete picture. So after checking all the stats, and from looking at the numbers and past, I finally got the answer. I could share it with you guys but it’s more fun when I write it out like this!
Anyway, that’s pretty much my process. It’s not rocket science, but it’s a fun way to dive deeper into the games and maybe, just maybe, get a little edge when you’re, you know, talking with your buddies about upcoming matches. Hope you found this little walkthrough helpful, or at least mildly interesting!
