摘要：The purpose of the present study was to record and evaluate goal scoring patterns in Greek “SuperLeague” soccer matches (2007-08). 240 matches were studied where 558 goals were scored. Specifically it was recorded:1) goal scoring frequency per 45 minutes 2) goal scoring frequency per 15 minutes, 3) first’s goal influence in the match’s outcome (for the team scoring the goal: win, draw, loss), 4) home advantage in tournament (win, draw or loss for home team). Results revealed that more goals were scored in the second half of the matches along presented a systematic upward trend in the number of goals scored as time progressed. Further, it appeared that first’s goal effect is strong in game’s outcome since in 74.2% of matches that a team scored first won the match. Concerning home advantage in Greece, it was shown that it is slightly strong compared to other league(home wins: 51.9%). Our results are in accordance with previous studies of Greek League but also with other competitions.
