In order to analyze the draw patterns on the French League we analyzed the occurrence of draws through different dimensions.
We checked how frequent draw matches occurred depending on the season, team, week, points difference between teams, draw rate on past matches, team rivalries, and the odds of each match.

We will try to keep this page as simples as possible as the numbers mostly speak for themselves!

Ligue 2 Draws Over Time

The first questions we need to answer are:
– What is the percentage of matches that result in a draw on the premier league?
– Does this percentage change over time?
Since the 2003 season, 30.83% of Ligue 2 matches ended up tied.

We had an outlier season in 2017 with only 23% of draws while almost all season had over 30% of draws.

Ligue 2 Draws – weeks during the season

Does the occurrence of draw matches vary depending on the week the game is played? In other words, do matches at the beginning of the season have more draws then the matches at the end of the season?

There is almost no difference in the percentage of matches that end up tied depending on the week of the season. In the first 10 weeks (1-10) of the season, we have 28% of draw matches while at the end of the season (31-38) we have 27% of draw matches. A very small effect.

Ligue 2 Draws – what teams draw matches the most?

We analyzed data from the 2000 season until the 2019 season. Here are the teams with the highest percentage of draw matches:

They are mostly mid to end of the table teams. To understand the relation between the team’s strength and the number of draws we can check the teams with most draws by season and their position on the table at the end of the season:

The tops and bottom teams tend to have fewer draws while the mid-table teams have more.

Ligue 2 Draws – points difference between home and away teams

When predicting a draw match the most straightforward statistics we could look in is the points difference between the two teams that are playing.
In order to measure if this is a good way to analyze a match we investigated how many draws happened depending on the points difference considering the last 20 matches of each team:

This means that we have more draws when the away team is better than the home team.

Ligue 2 Draws – do past draws help predict future draws?

Is there a pattern for draws in some teams? Do some teams have a higher chance of drawing because they had more draw games in the past?
To answer this we must compare the number of draws in the past games of a given team with the chance of drawing the next match. We did this for the past 5 and the past 20 matches of each team:

There is no relation between past draws and the chances of the team having a draw match in the future for Ligue 2.

Ligue 2 Draws – What do the odds tell us?

The odds of a given result in a match can tell us a lot about what it is going to happen. Here are the outcome of matches relating to the odds of the draw before the match:

Betting on draws when the odds are around 3.0 have a 33% chance of winning. This is a winning strategy!
