Final Pythagorean table for 2010-11 German Bundesliga
Categories: Soccer Pythagorean: Tables
Below is the final Pythagorean table for this season's German Bundesliga which concluded today. The league Pythagorean exponent is 1.70. Dortmund were deserved champions, but an underperforming Bayern Munich made the championship more of a blowout than it should have been. Hannover 96, for so long the most overachieving side in Germany (and Europe for that matter), were overhauled by Bayern just before the end, while Leverkusen came on hard in the final quarter of the season. They closed with a record of P9 W6 D1 L2 with a goal differential of just +1!
At the other end of the table, Köln and Bremen found wins out of somewhere to save themselves from a relegation fight. The two teams in the direct relegation places had the kind of result you would expect from such poor goal statistics; St Pauli couldn't defend while Eintracht couldn't score. Even if Köln and Bremen hadn't overachieved, Gladbach would have ended up in the Relegation Playoff on goal difference, anyway.
