How Are Profit & Loss Figures Calculated?

As mentioned earlier, the Profit & Loss (P/L) statistics are calculated as if you were to back each team to win every game with £10 stakes using odds from bet365. The data is then added together cumulatively throughout the season to give the total profit or loss each team would gave generated.

ROI is calculated by dividing the total profit/loss by the number of matches played, and then converted into a percentage.

Below, we’ve compiled statistics from the past ten Spanish La Liga seasons in a clear, concise manner for speed and ease of use. There's no right or wrong way to use these numbers; statistics can be interpreted in many ways, so how you use the data is ultimately up to you.

The highest goals per game was in the 2016/17 season, with 2.94, while the lowest was the 2019/20 season, with 2.48. Interestingly, the last three seasons have seen a steady drop in this figure. It remains to be seen whether this is a temporary blip or an indicator of a more significant change.

The stats are very clear here: to mount a successful challenge, ruthless home form is a must.

La Liga champions amassed an average of 49.6 points from home games, and only one La Liga champion wasn’t victorious in at least 15 of 18 home games.

Home form alone isn’t enough, however; away form is also pivotal to success. The La Liga champions averaged 43.5 away points per season.

The biggest home points tally was recorded by Barcelona in 2012/13, who won an astonishing 18 games and drew 1, for a total of 55 points. As for away points, the largest amount was 50 by Real Madrid in 2011/12, which amounted to half their total points that season.

The La Liga Champions are usually free-scoring, with 8 of the last 10 scoring 90 goals or more, averaging 2.62 goals per game. Real Madrid’s 2011/12 season stands out most in recent years, as they found the net an amazing 121 times, scoring an average 3.18 goals per game.

However, Atletico Madrid (2013/14) and Real Madrid (2019/20) demonstrated that you don’t necessarily need to come close to matching this number to clinch the title. As we’ll see below, a rock-solid defence plays just as important a role in racking up the points.

The last 10 La Liga champions have conceded an average of 29.4 goals a season, with 5 of these teams keeping clean sheets in at least half of their games.

Real Madrid (2016/17) and Barcelona (2012/13) are the two outliers on this list, and 7 teams kept more clean sheets than them during these title-winning seasons.

As we saw above, these two teams scored 106 and 115 goals respectively, which obviously lowered the need for them to be watertight at the back.

On the other end of the table, an average of 37.5 points have been necessary to maintain La Liga status over the past 10 years (excluding the possibility of goal difference). In that period, the most needed was 44 points in 2010/11; Deportivo La Coruña were relegated despite having 43 points, an amount that would have been enough to ensure survival in any other season.
