5. Average goals per match

There are two useful ways of presenting this statistic: goals scored by each club per match and total goals in matches involving each club.

Club	Goals scored per match	Total match goals per match
Hibernians	3.80	5.00
Swieqi United	2.80	3.20
Mġarr United	2.60	3.20
Valletta	1.80	3.40
Birkirkara	0.80	3.20
San Ġwann	0.20	6.00
League average	2.00	4.00

San Ġwann’s matches have produced the highest average total of six goals, largely because of the number they have conceded.

6. Highest-scoring matches

Match	Result	Total goals
Hibernians – San Ġwann	8-0	8
San Ġwann – Swieqi United	0-7	7
Birkirkara – Hibernians	1-5	6
Mġarr United – San Ġwann	6-0	6
Hibernians – Valletta	3-2	5
San Ġwann – Valletta	0-5	5

Highest-scoring match Hibernians 8-0 San Ġwann, with eight goals.

7. Biggest victories

The biggest winning margins so far are:

Pos.	Winning club	Opponent	Result	Margin
1	Hibernians	San Ġwann	8-0	8
2	Swieqi United	San Ġwann	7-0	7
3	Mġarr United	San Ġwann	6-0	6
4	Hibernians	Birkirkara	5-1	4
5	Valletta	San Ġwann	5-0	5

The order above is by winning margin; Valletta’s 5-0 victory has a margin of five and therefore ranks third, ahead of the 5-1 result.

8. Most competitive matches

Five matches have been decided by just one goal.

Hibernians – Swieqi United	2-1
Hibernians – Mġarr United	1-2
Birkirkara – Valletta	0-1
Mġarr United – Swieqi United	0-1

9. Clean sheets by club

A clean sheet is recorded when a team finishes a match without conceding.

Club	Clean sheets
Swieqi United	4
Mġarr United	2
Valletta	2
Hibernians	1
Birkirkara	0
San Ġwann	0

Swieqi United lead this category, keeping four clean sheets from five matches.

10. Home and away performance

Data limitation

The workbook identifies the two teams involved in each match and the stadium, but does not contain a reliable home/away designation.

Therefore, I cannot accurately calculate:

• Home wins, draws and defeats.
• Away wins, draws and defeats.
• Home goals and away goals.
• Percentage of goals scored at home and away.

I would recommend adding a dedicated Home/Away column to your workbook. This will allow us to produce these statistics accurately.

11. Performance by matchday

Matchday	Matches	Goals	Average goals
1	3	11	3.67
2	3	11	3.67
3	3	12	4.00
