The 332nd edition of the CIES Weekly Post Observatory left the Colombian League very well in its latest study. The observatory compared 72 first division leagues around the world and from the perspective of the percentage of matches, in which a team won by at least three goals, the lowest proportion of unequal matches was recorded in the Category One A of Colombia. Not a joke, Colombian football finished in this list with the first place. The percentage that gave this place to the League was 4%.
For the UEFA member federations surveyed, the percentages vary between 8.8% in the Albanian Super League and 31.2% in Moldova. More than a fifth of the matches in the Austrian Bundesliga (23.5%) and the German Bundesliga (20.9%) ended with at least a three-goal difference between the opposing teams. These are percentages much higher than the average measured at the level of the 72 competitions included in the analysis (14.5%).
The Spanish League (11.4%) is the only league among the top five Europeans where the proportion of unequal matches was much lower than the world average. The opposite is true for the French Ligue 1 (15.0%), the English Premier League (17.2%) and the Italian Serie A (17.7%). The Arabian Gulf League of the United Arab Emirates (22.2%) and the Stars League of Qatar (21.7%) also stand out as especially unequal competitions.
