The teams competing in the 2020-2021 season of the Bundesliga and coming in the first four places, Bayern München, Red Bull Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, and Wolfsburg, and in the last three places, Köln, Werder Bremen, and Schalke were analyzed in the study. Goals, the number of goal attempts, shots, shots on goal, passes, successful passes, key passes, successful key passes, and dribbling included in the analysis. The study data were obtained from the InStat data analysis software. The ANOVA model was utilized to investigate the difference in these parameters among the teams.
Based on the study results, a statistically significant difference has been observed in the variables of goals, the number of goal attempts, shots, shots on goal, passes, successful passes, key passes, successful key passes, and dribbling (p<0.05).
Conclusively, considering the league positions of the teams included in the study, the numbers of goal attempts, shots, shots on goal, successful passes, and key passes affect ranking. Therefore, it is advised that teams give importance to training sessions to increase their dribbling and pass quality in their tactical training programs to become successful.
