On the 14th of January, 2023, we saw Sunderland play against Swansea City in a pulsating Championship match. The result was a decisive 3-1 victory for the away side, Swansea.
Swansea City opened the scoring 49 minutes and 30 seconds into the second half. Sunderland managed to equalize the score 14 minutes and 42 seconds later. However, Swansea quickly regained control with goals in the 69th and 77th minute.
Analyzing the stats, one immediate standout is the aggressive nature of the match. Yellow cards were plentiful, with Swansea receiving four and Sunderland receiving one. Specifically, the latter half of the second half saw a spike in the issuance of yellow cards. This implies a lot of risky challenges and disruptions to the flow of the game. Despite this swirl of punitive cards, Swansea were still able to perform solidly.
Corner kicks were especially relevant to the control of the match, with Swansea seeing 4 successful attempts against Sunderland's lone attempt. This indicates Swansea's aggressive play in Sunderland's half, continuously pressuring their defense and creating numerous chances for themselves.
In terms of the fouls, Sunderland committed 10 fouls while Swansea committed slightly less, at 8. It shows the somewhat physical nature of the match. In particular, a higher number of fouls from Sunderland may indicate their struggle to contain Swansea's offense.
A valuable insight is the offside data. Sunderland were caught offside five times as opposed to Swansea, who managed to avoid going offside even once. It reflects the lack of fluidity in Sunderland's offenses and their potential desperation to play a more direct style of football in an attempt to break through Swansea’s defense.
Despite the larger number of yellow cards, obtaining the majority of corner kicks and avoiding offsides entirely, Swansea managed to consistently apply forward pressure and seize goal-scoring opportunities when available. Their game strategy and execution proved fruitful, contributing significantly to their win over Sunderland.
In light of this match, future bettors might do well to consider not just the number of goals scored, but also the style of play and how disciplined – or not – a team is. Particularly, the number of times a team goes offside, the amount of fouls they commit, and how they utilize set pieces, like corner kick opportunities.
While Sunderland will need to work on improving their offensive offside issues and possibly revisit their defensive strategies to handle pressure better, Swansea City demonstrated a winning combination of discipline, aggression, and strategic play.
