Where is possession most one-sided?
Average distance from an even split. Possession itself averages fifty everywhere — both sides add to a hundred — so the question worth asking is how far apart the two teams end up.
Premier League (England) is the most lopsided: on average a side finishes 11.83 points away from half the ball.
