Newcastle United scores heaviest in the 76-90+ spell and concedes heaviest in 76-90+; AFC Bournemouth scores heaviest in 76-90+ and concedes heaviest in 76-90+. The shapes mesh: Newcastle United's strongest scoring spell is exactly where AFC Bournemouth is softest.
Newcastle United: 40 league matches in the bank, 2 from this season and the rest from last season. AFC Bournemouth: 40 league matches in the bank, 2 from this season and the rest from last season.
The question this step asks
Step three is GOALS, AND WHEN THEY COME. Not just how many each side scores and lets in, but the minute bands they come in, who lands the first blow, what each side does after falling behind, and who finds goals late. A side that concedes early and scores late reads very differently from one that does the opposite, at the same goal difference.
Side by side: Newcastle United scores most in the 76-90+ band (13 of 57); Newcastle United concedes most in the 76-90+ band (22 of 57); AFC Bournemouth scores most in the 76-90+ band (16 of 60); AFC Bournemouth concedes most in the 76-90+ band (18 of 57). Who lands the first blow and who lands the last is the question this step exists to ask.
