Choosing Teams for Penalty Betting

According to statistics, most often penalties are awarded in those matches in which one of the teams dominates possession of the ball and plays in a combinational style. To confirm this fact, here are the statistics of the Spanish championship:

In this case, we see that Barcelona has a significant advantage over its rivals in terms of the number of penalties earned. In every 4th match, the judges appointed a penalty kick against Barça's opponents. This is not surprising when you consider that in many matches the Catalans have more than 65% possession of the ball.

And here is the statistics of penalties in one of the seasons of Serie A:

Here we see that Fiorentina is ahead of even Juventus. This should not be surprising either. Everyone is well aware of the way the Florentines play. When a team is in good shape, its players have more possession of the ball and perform spectacular combinations. Many call Fiorentina the most non-Italian team in Serie A. Naturally, in the best seasons, violets often earn penalty kicks.

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are good choices for betting on penalties. These clubs are accustomed to act from a position of strength. This is especially noticeable in home meetings. Therefore, it would be correct to put on penalties in the home meetings of these teams.
