Stats analysis of Genoa FC before and after change of the coach

Corner-stats.com team is back in touch!

This year, "thanks to COVID-19," in the height of summer, we have many football matches and opportunities to earn money on them.

 

Today we will demonstrate how to use the statistics analysis tool of the Corner-stats.com service Filter by the current coach. And let's do this using the example of the Genoa football club, which at the end of 2019 changed its coach (Thiago Motta was replaced by Davide Nicola).

To use the filter by the current coach, you need to go to the team's match page, in this case Genoa plays with Inter on Saturday 25/07 (https://corner-stats.com/genoa-inter-milan-25-07-2020/serie-a-italy/match/322520). The filter by the current coach is located on all statistics in the quick filters block:

 

 

So, in the 2019/20 season, Genoa played 19 matches under the current coach (Davide Nicola) and 19 matches under the previous coaches. Let's compare the team's performance before and after the change of coach:

 

 

As you can see from the table, the change of coach went to Genoa's favor, the team began to score more goals and concede much less, especially in the 2nd half. Genoa's team totals of corners, all shots, offsides and throw-ins have decreased, and the team has significantly less possession of the ball. This suggests that with a new coach, Genoa usually gives the initiative to an opponent and plays more on counterattacks. Despite this, the team had an increase in the average number of shots on target, as well as a slight increase in the number of offsides. In addition, we draw your attention to the fact that Genoa started to foul a little more, but at the same time gets fewer cards.

 

We hope this analysis was useful to you, and you will be able to draw the correct conclusions based on it. Have a good football!
