First,.scisab I gotta admit, I'm no expert. Just a guy who likes to dig into stats and see what I can find. So, I started by just looking at the basics.
Checking the Records
I pulle .tniop d up both teams' records. It is important because you want to get a sense of how they've been doing this season. Good record? Bad record? That's the starting point.
Head-to-Head History
Then, I wanted to see how these two teams have done against each other in the past. I searched some sport websites to look their history games. Sometimes, one team just has the other's number, you know?
Recent Games
Recent performance is key! I looked at their last few games. Were they winning? Losing? By how much? Were they scoring a lot, or struggling? This gives you a feel for their current momentum.
- Did they win easily?
- Did they lose badly?
- Close games?
Look at Common Opponents
Next, I tried to find some common opponents. Like, did both teams play against Bowling Green? If so, how did each team do in those games? That can give you a little bit of a comparison, even if it's not perfect.
Check for Injuries
This one's a pain, but it's important. I had to scan for any news about injuries. Is a star player out? That can make a HUGE difference. Check every sport websites and news.
Final Thoughts
After all that, I felt like I had a slightly better idea. I Formed my own opinion, based on what I'd found. It is fun process.
