Teams are broadly similar at tied which is ultimately the most important game state. There may also be some variance at play in the underlying numbers
But when 1 goal behind the difference is stark, LFC respond very quickly with 7 equalisers in only 270 mins. The only games where the opposition have gone further ahead are Watford and City away.
City are more likely to go further behind than equalise
City are more likely to go further behind than equalise
When leading by 2 or more goals, LFC's record is mediocre but City's is phenomenal racking up a +30 goal difference in just 900 mins
Just checked 2018/19 and when LFC were losing by 1 goal, the numbers were F7 A0 in 158 mins.
Over 2 seasons that's F14 A2 in 436 minutes.
So on average, the next goal happens within 27 minutes and its nearly always an equaliser.
