Big-5 Weekly Post No.96 - Spanish clubs outrank rivals in shooting efficiency
Issue number 96 of the CIES Football Observatory Big-5 Weekly Post presents the indicator of the average number of attempts per goal. In the top four places of the table are Spanish clubs : Real Madrid (5.4 shots per goal), Valencia (5.7), Atlético Madrid (6.0) and Barcelona (6.6).
The top ranked teams in the remaining big-5 leagues are Olympique Lyonnais (6.7 shots per goal, 5th place), Eintracht Frankfurt (6.9, 7th), Chelsea (7.0, 10th) and Palermo (7.5, 12th).
Conversely, at the bottom end of the table are Hambourg (22.9), Aston Villa (20.9), Torino (17.1), Granada (16.9) and LOSC Lille (15.2). These figures both reflect a lack of efficiency and the difficulty in taking up a favourable position to shoot. As a matter of example, Aston Villa scored only two goals out of 109 attempts in second halves!
