Alright, so, let me tell you about this little project I got myself into. It’s all about the Emelec vs. Barcelona SC match. I’m not much of a football fanatic, but hey, when you stumble upon something interesting, you gotta dive in, right?
So, I started by digging up some info on this match. I found out that these two teams, Barcelona SC and Emelec, are supposed to play on Sunday, October 20, 2024. It’s not happening until later in the year, but I figured I’d get a head start on this.
I used some search engines to gather some more details. Looks like this match is part of the Serie A Ecuadoriana 2024. The match is supposed to start at 10:00 PM on October 20th. I even found that some people might be able to catch it on TV or online, though I didn’t look too much into that since I was more interested in the data side of things.
Then, I thought, “Why not check out where they play?” I found that Barcelona SC usually plays at this huge stadium called Estadio Monumental. Man, this place is massive! It can hold almost 90,000 spectators. That’s a lot of people! It’s supposedly the largest stadium in Ecuador. Pretty cool, huh?
Next, I wanted to see if I could get my hands on some tickets, just out of curiosity. I came across a website where you can supposedly buy and sell Emelec tickets for matches at Estadio Capwell in Guayaquil. Not that I’m planning on going, but it’s good to know, I guess.
After that, I decided to dive into some stats. I found some sources that break down all sorts of statistics for matches between these two teams. For instance, there was one for a match that happened on September 19, 2022. I thought, “This could be fun to analyze.”
Setting up my data collection
So, I rolled up my sleeves and started setting up a way to collect this data. I used some simple tools to scrape the information from the websites I found. Nothing too fancy, just enough to get the job done.
The analysis begins
- I started by looking at past results between Emelec and Barcelona SC.
- Then I tried to find some head-to-head statistics to see if there were any interesting trends.
- I also looked into the latest results for Emelec to get an idea of their recent form.
It was a bit of a mess at first, trying to organize all this information, but I eventually got it sorted out. I used some basic spreadsheet software to keep track of everything. I’m no data scientist, but I like to think I can make sense of numbers when I put my mind to it.
Wrapping it up
I spent a good chunk of time playing around with the data, trying to see if I could spot any patterns or anything that stood out. It was kind of like putting together a puzzle, but with numbers and football teams.
In the end, I didn’t really come up with any groundbreaking insights or anything. But hey, it was a fun little project to work on. And who knows, maybe I’ll come back to this when the match actually happens and see how my amateur analysis holds up. Until then, it’s back to other things!
