Opponents' Accuracy As A Measure of Defensive Production: The EPL Season at the Halfway Mark
I have occasionally written about defensive production in terms of how many goals, shots, or shots on goal teams allow in a match. One of the best of these measures, so far as I can tell, is whether a team allows their opponents to place accurate shots on goal. If you think about it, allowing an opponent to shoot is one thing - anyone can sling the ball in the general direction of the other side - but only accurate shots have a chance of actually crossing the goal line.
