I have an excel sheet for that. I need the points of all 4 teams after matchday 2, and get the statistical probability for every team to finish first, second, trid or fourth.
the sheet just considers win-draw-loss and every result gets same chances, so there is a 33% chance for otelul galtai to win over Manchester united, and any result on goals is split up evenly.

It should not be that hard to calculate that yourself by just looking at the results of the past 2 years:

2009-10
2010-11

Just check for each group what teams won the first 2 games and if they qualified for the next round.

Teams with 6 points after 2 matchdays:
2009/10: 5
2010/11: 7
All 12 qualified for next round, so 100%

Teams with 9 points after 3 matchdays:
2009/10: 3
2010/11: 5
All 8 qualified for next round, so 100%

Teams with 7 points after 3 matchdays:
2009/10: 4
2010/11: 4
All 8 qualified for next round, so 100%

thanks JPV

so 9 points after 6 matchdays should be enough for the most teams and with 10 points so far 100 %
Did you use the europa league match resuslts ?

I find it interesting that with 4 points after 2 matchdays that you have more then 80 % chance going through 14/3 14 yes and 3 No

It is of course possible to qualify with 4pts and to go out with 12pts at the extreme end of things.

The 12pt scenario looks very likely to happen in group A of the CONCACAF Champions League this year. We'll find out today. All LA Galaxy have to do is beat 0pt Motagua to set up a 3 way tie on 12pts at the top. Alajuelense will be the luckless team on 12pts to go out if they do.

you never answered if you were intersted in that excel sheet wich calculates every possible outcome of the remaining 4 matchdays. (6561 possibilitys)

a team can have 4 points and qualify as 2nd placed teasm, another team can have 12 points and land on the trird place.

The question for one team having 4 points is not completly sufficient since it depends how many points the other 3 grup members have.

the same, but for CL-group phase sinds 1992.

yes = top 2, even if only the group winner qualified
no = bottom 2, even if the nr 3 qualifies for EL/UEFA cup

JPV's work shows that no team has done the 12pt or 4pt scenario in those samples, but it's still possible, and it did indeed happen in group A in this year's CONCACAF Champions League.

Group D in this year's Europa League has the potential to produce the 4pt scenario.

Very interesting table, thanks a lot JPV

Which Team did the nearly impossible and qualified after just 1 point after 4 Matchdays ?

Re: statistics

Date: 22-10-2011, 04:39
That stat is wonderful
Losing the first game is a burden and only 22% are able to qualify, while the winner of the first game qualify in 71% of the cases. Of course, winning at home or away makes a difference, but still

But the amazing situation is the stats "4 points after 3 games" : 50%

We could talk if the numbers are useless or not, there are 3 situations with 8 points : 2w2d2l and 1w5d0l. The second one is better for obvious reasons

Re: statistics

I too am curious about the team which qualified with 1pt from 4 games. I see no teams qualified with 6pts, so they must have been victorious in their last two games.

Ah, I see. It helped that Barcelona crushed the group, winning all 6 matches. Lokomotiv lost twice to Barcelona and to Galatasaray at home. They got a point against Club Brugge in Belgium on matchday 2. They managed to beat the Turks in Turkey in what looks like a fun 5 minutes, goals in the 70th and 75th minutes sandwiching a 73rd minute Galatasaray goal. They then beat the Belgians at home on the last day.

Barcelona - 18
Lokomotiv Moscow - 7
Club Brugge - 5
Galatasaray - 4

I remember 2002/2003 for Milan winning the CL, Genk playing the CL, AEK getting 6 draws, Bayern ending last of their group and NEwcastle qualifying after the worst start possible (0/9).

By the way, some funny facts :

The 3 german teams in 2002/2003 were Leverkusen/Dortmund/Bayern
Dortmund was in a group with Arsenal and a french team.

I too fondly remember Newcastle. I see in JPV's table that they alone succeeded from that position while 45 others failed. Two unique feats in the same season. And I believe AEKs draws are also unique, making it three.

Great statistics!!

I would like to find a plce for me to store it somehow.

Of course 2 questions for the quiz:
1. Who were the 7 teams that qualified with only 7 points
2. Who were the 6 teams that did not qualify with 10 points.

Well, I know Bremen ended 3rd with 10 points in a group with Barca and Chelsea. The problem was that the 4th team lost all 6 games (was it Sofia?) so it was more like 4 points in a group of 3.

Re: statistics

@Ricardo

Teams that qualified with 7 points:
1995-96: Legia Warszawa
1999-00: Dynamo Kyiv
2001-02: Liverpool (2nd GS)
2002-03: Lokomotiv Moskva
2002-03: Juventus (2nd GS)
2005-06: Werder Bremen
2005-06: Rangers

Teams that didn't qualify with 10 points:
1999-00: Dynamo Kyiv (2nd GS)
2002-03: Borussia Dortmund (2nd GS)
2003-04: PSV
2004-05: Olympiakos Piraeus
2004-05: Dynamo Kyiv
2006-07: Werder Bremen

Remarkably Dynamo Kyiv first qualified with 7 points in 1999/00 in the 1st GS and then failed to qualify with 10 points in the 2nd GS. And then failed again with 10 points in 2004/05.

Take points from your rivals and drop points to your inferiors, and you have a pretty good chance of moving on with a low score.

Very interesting what happened to Dynamo Kiev that year.

If you combine the 2 tables, you get this "total" result.
Y/N    1      2     3     4      5     6
0 58/187 9/93 1/51 0/31 0/20 0/12
1 100/73 28/98 9/70 1/44 0/24 0/16
2 17/19 5/31 0/36 0/33 0/23
3 174/72 91/83 28/87 5/53 0/38 0/29
4 90/30 54/54 26/79 4/73 0/46
5 35/15 17/31 6/42 0/44
6 97/9 83/20 54/37 15/31 0/49
7 58/4 72/16 54/49 9/67
8 31/1 41/11 27/26
9 59/0 55/4 51/11 35/14
10 41/0 59/0 63/6
11 23/0 51/0
12 30/0 40/0 46/0
13 28/0 47/0
14 16/0
15 11/0 15/0
16 17/0
18 6/0

So, based on these statistics, no team has ever:

After 6 rounds:
- qualified with 6 points or less (4 points is theoretically the mimimum points you need to be able to qualify)
- not been qualified with 11 points or more (12 points is theoretically possible)

After 5 rounds:
- qualified with 3 points or less
- not qualified with 10 points or more

After 4 rounds:
- qualified with 0 points
- not qualified with 10 points or more

After 3 rounds:
- not qualified with 9 points

write it down, club brugge will be the first team with 10 points and going out in europe league and the first team with 10 points on matchday 5 and going out

they have now 7 points, will winn in maribor, 10 points,lose then to braga and birmingham lose in braga and win home against maribor

brugge and birmingham both 10 points but birmingham better head to head

Re: statistics

A key point which is shown very clearly this year: the usual results of these stats- the ones in the middle of the distribution, so to say, rely on the more evenly matched groups.

If you get one team that has 0 points, then the group is totally different.

10 points from GS is a lot, but if 3 teams are each getting 6 from 1 team, then 10-6 = 4 points out of 12 is not a lot.

So then it's easy to see that a 10-pointer can be out.

This means there are 2 types of "group of death" -
the 'true' group of death = all 4 are evenly matched (and quite good teams at least)
the 'unlucky for one good team and one bad team' type of group of death is 3 evenly matched good + 1 much weaker team. The weak team is going to do badly, as all the other teams need the points; and one good team is by definition going to miss out.

Interesting....

It is hard out with 10 points and then you see clubs with 8 points making next round.

Re: statistics

@Kurt: True, it seems hard, OTOH 8 points in a strong group might be really worth more than 10 pts in a weak group, since UEFA coefficient system values every win alike, there is no weighting that makes a win over FC Barcelona different from a win over Dundee United.

can anybody do an update and then we can do some conclusions

Before this seasons the conclusions were

So, based on these statistics, no team has ever:

After 6 rounds:
- qualified with 6 points or less (4 points is theoretically the mimimum points you need to be able to qualify)
- not been qualified with 11 points or more (12 points is theoretically possible)

After 5 rounds:
- qualified with 3 points or less
- not qualified with 10 points or more

After 4 rounds:
- qualified with 0 points
- not qualified with 10 points or more

After 3 rounds:
- not qualified with 9 points


Is it changed now? had a team 10 points after 5 rounds and get out ?
then we have a new conclusion
