Premier League 2024/2025 Race For Champions League: Battle For Europe By Numbers – Data Analysis

Liverpool will almost certainly be in next season’s UEFA Champions League mix (with only mathematics preventing that from being a definite) and look highly likely to be joined by Arsenal.

However, the race to secure the final two guaranteed places (and potentially any additional spots, should England maintain their strong UEFA club coefficient ranking) in the competition is still very much an open one.

At the time of writing, there are as many as eight sides who could still realistically finish inside the Premier League’s top four, and it has been impossible to predict which way things will go.

With that in mind, this data analysis will seek to provide some answers about which teams might have a chance to break into the Champions League and which could fall short.

Scottish Premiership 2024/2025: Rangers Striker Play In Old Firm Win Vs Celtic – Tactical Analysis

Rangers left Celtic Park with a 3-2 victory on Sunday despite ending the game with just 28% of the ball possession.

This result was undoubtedly a feather in the cap of interim Rangers boss Barry Ferguson, who took over from ex-Gers manager Philippe Clement in late February.

Both sides had good moments and bad moments, both in and out of possession during Sunday’s game; it was far from a tactical masterclass on behalf of either side in this legendary rivalry.

However, the interplay and partnership between Rangers’ centre-forward pairing—initially Cyriel Dessers (left) and Václav Černý (right) before the latter was replaced by the game-winning striker Hamza Igamane in the final minutes of the game—proved vital to the victory for the blue half of Glasgow.

Our tactical analysis looks to highlight how Ferguson utilised his centre-forwards to such great effect in Sunday’s game and how those players influenced the match so heavily.
