Football Standings: What we mean by a team’s form and how it assists us in betting

“Don’t change a winning team” is the doctrine of a portion of the bettors. Others, on the other hand, prefer to seek the statistical lag.

In any case, the knowledge of the recent performance of a team, the so-called “form” in the betting glossary, is an essential study tool and the reason we incorporated it into our tables.

Next to each team’s table position and goal ratio, you can find information related to its form. There are five small boxes, which illustrate the last five results of each team. The victory in green color, the tie in gray and the defeat in red.

In essence, the more green you see next to a team the better. If red is the prevailing color, then things don’t go as planned for them.

Football Standings: The secret reading of the form

Like all things in life are not black and white, we do not want to stay focused on the simple green-red aspect of a team’s form. We, as bettors, must learn to read behind the information given to us.

Below you can find Sportbetting.ng examples on a team’s form evaluation.

A team’s form in relation to its table standing

Before judging a team’s form, it is necessary to look at the standings and the targets set by the team.

A three-game winning streak in the last five matches is a great performance for a tail team, a good performance for a mid-table team and a poor performance for those teams who want a shot at the championship title.

A team’s form in relation to its match schedule

Take for example a team in the middle of the table, with one draw and two defeats in the last three matches. In order to fully comprehend its status, we will have to take into account the strength of its opponents in said matches.

If the last three matches were against the top three teams leading the table, the one point accumulated is not considered as a convicting performance. On the other hand, if the last three matches were against teams found in the middle of the table as well, then we should categorize this team under those with poor recent performance.

A team’s form in relation to Home matches

There are many cases of teams that show a completely different face between home and away matches. Therefore, in addition to the general form, each bettor must correctly measure the Home factor. How a team performs in front of or away from its supporters.
