See Asian leagues freeHow these figures are worked out
Every figure is counted from finished league matches in the SoccerDraws database, across all seasons we hold (almost all from 2010 onwards). Only leagues with at least 2,000 matches are included, so each figure rests on plenty of matches. Cups and friendlies are left out. A match counts as a draw when the scores are level at full time.
These are records of what has happened. They describe the past and do not predict any future match.
