Laboratories sound like fun places, if a little intimidating. Do you need to bring your own Bunsen burner, can test tubes go in the dishwasher, is this a puddle of water or acid? Happily, the Football Lab in the Twenty3 Toolbox is much simpler, while arguably being even more fun and useful. More importantly, it…
Celtic didn’t manage a single shot on target against Rangers on Saturday. With no supporters allowed in stadiums right now, there’s not much in terms of home advantage. That said, it’s very rare to see a visiting team to Parkhead control the Bhoys in the way Steven Gerrard’s men did. The hosts had the majority…
Football has come a long way in a very short space of time. It wasn’t long ago ‘data’ was limited to tables of appearances, goals and little else. But there’s been an explosion of data in the beautiful game in recent years. Clubs are scrambling to find marginal gains by delving ever deeper into the…
Statistics and data visualisations can drive you more new depositing customers…bear with me on how. Over the past four years, we’ve been working with some of the world’s biggest sports publishers helping them create engaging content with data. This has been achieved through our proprietary platform, the Twenty3 Content Toolbox, which gives brands the power…
Sometimes, attack really can be the best form of defence. Aston Villa have epitomised this since football returned from lockdown. In the 13 matches played, Dean Smith’s men have conceded, on average, one goal per game. Before lockdown, the Villans were conceding two goals per 90. It’s been a remarkable turnaround and one that very…
Everyone in the world of football knows that Harry Kane is a goalscorer supreme. The 27-year-old is four goals away from 150 in the Premier League and 200 for Tottenham Hotspur in all competitions. However, it’s unlikely that many people predicted his evolution into a creator. In the opening four matches of the new league…
Will Leeds United ever not be remarkable? Marcelo Bielsa’s team, somehow, managed to score six non-penalty goals against Liverpool and Fulham from an expected goals figure of 1.15. The reason why it felt like every time someone shot they scored in those matches, is because that’s generally true. However, while they may not appear to…
Twenty3 are delighted to announce an extension and expansion of their Content Toolbox partnership with Catena Media. As a result of the internationalisation of the Toolbox, Catena will now roll out the Twenty3 product to an additional 20 brands across Australia, Germany, Italy and Spain. Leading football publisher Squawka, who are owned by Catena, already…
Manchester United’s pursuit of Jadon Sancho has been very public and very long. The latest reports are that Borussia Dortmund will not part with the England star during this transfer window and that the Red Devils should look elsewhere. Time isn’t on their side and there’s now just a few days before the summer window…
For many reasons, 2020 makes no conventional sense. Allow another addition to the list. Across the first two Premier League games, the order of London’s teams on expected goals difference reads: West Ham, Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Fulham. Bless Fulham for being a safe jetty of continuity on this river of confusion we’re bobbing…
