I don't have a dog in this fight except to tend slightly towards there being a data discrepancy.but it should be pretty obvious that man city would be more likely to draw away at a schalke than at home.
It might be possible to argue though, that any team strength factor is mitigated somewhat by the 1st legged nature of the encounter.
So not all that significant, at the end of the day, after we carry on & look at something else, which I think was wins on away goals not being supremely statistically higher wasn't it.
Our data sample has an allegedly higher % of stronger away teams - but we are still seeing an outcome that goes against this.
Is that right? edit - No, it's the 2nd leg home teams that are allegedly stronger than they averagely ought to be.
Great thread either way, mind.
