\n $\"List$ \n <\/div>\n

Tackle stats are a bit of a double-edged sword in football, as unlike goals or other offensive stats, more is not always better. Tackles are a key indicator of an individual defender\u2019s overall performance, but they can be a sign that a team is actually on the defensive a bit too much.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n

\n $\"List$ \n <\/div>\n

A football tackle may be a bit of a last resort, as the team should have kept the ball in the first place. Thus, defensive stats, like tackle stats, need to be weighed against offensive stats such as goals or corners in order to get a clear image of a team\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n

\n $\"List$ \n <\/div>\n

Of course, it is good to have a defensive player with a high output, but ideally, a team would intercept the ball before needing to take it forcibly from a streaking offensive player.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n

On the other hand, we cannot neglect the talent of defensive legends like Gareth Barry (1,028 career tackles), Lucas Leiva (978 tackles), Gael Clichy (927 tackles) or Pablo Zabaleta (888 tackles), who hold the records for most tackles since football stats were recorded in 2006 \u2013 2007. Each has greatly contributed to their respective sides\u2019 success in the Premier League.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Different Types of Tackles<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n In football, tackles are used to dispossess the opponent of the ball or prevent them from passing or shooting it. A tackle should not be performed directly on the player in possession.<\/p>\n\n
\n Tackling is also used as a defensive move<\/strong> where the defender uses either leg to obtain ball possession from the opponent by sliding in to knock the ball away, or by using their body to hamper the other player's movement. Unlike other codes of football, tackling the opponent to the ground is not allowed<\/strong> in association football. In fact, it is regarded as a serious foul and often, the culprit is sent off with a yellow or red card.<\/p>\n\n
\n Legal Tackles\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n So when exactly can a tackle be considered successful and legitimate? For a successful tackle, the idea is to take on the ball first and not the player. There are many types of tackles and regulations surrounding them:<\/p>\n\n
\n Slide Tackle\n <\/h4>\n \n\n
\n The slide tackle is one of the most successful tackles. A defensive player slides on the grass to try to knock the ball away from the player in possession, using either foot. It is effective in regaining possession<\/strong> for your team or just knocking the ball out of play.<\/p>\n\n
\n Back Tackle\n <\/h4>\n \n\n
\n A back tackle occurs when the defensive player comes from behind the player with the ball and dispossesses them. For an adept tackle, the tackled player must be clearly in possession<\/strong> of the ball when it is knocked away, and the first contact should be with the ball, and not the player's body.<\/p>\n\n
\n Illegal Tackles\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Just like any other game, football has its fair share of fouls, ranging from slide tackles to tackles from behind. According to FIFA, 25% of all injuries<\/a><\/strong> on the pitch are caused by reckless slide tackles alone – and that's not the whole story.<\/p>\n\n
\n When it comes to understanding illegal tackles in soccer, it\u2019s not the type of tackle that matters, but how the player makes the tackle<\/strong>. Determining when to award a foul requires the referee to be observant before, during and after the tackle.<\/p>\n\n
\n The Football Association's Law 12 says that a tackle is illegal if a player tackles the opponent in a manner that is careless, reckless or using excessive force<\/strong>, and it leaves the determination of the penalty to the referee.<\/p>\n\n
\n The mere fact that the tackle is from the rear does not constitute a foul<\/strong>. When tackling another player from behind, the defensive player should do everything possible to avoid making contact with the player in possession of the ball. As soon as the player makes contact with the opponent, they are at risk of tripping them up and making them appear careless with the tackle.<\/p>\n\n
\n When the referee blows their whistle, they are likely about to award a direct free kick or a penalty if the foul is committed inside the penalty box. If a reckless tackle interferes with a promising attack or it constitutes unsporting behaviour, the player will receive a yellow card for their misconduct.<\/p>\n\n
\n Two yellow cards in the same match add up to a red card, which is a direct dismissal. A straight red card is awarded for a dangerous and reckless tackle or use of excessive force that endangers the other player's well-being<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
\n Whether the ball is won or not, thrusting at an opponent with both legs is regarded as a serious foul. This includes putting the tackled player in a position to obtain an injury and leads to immediate sending off.<\/p>\n\n
\n A studs-up tackle is also punishable with a yellow card, at the very least. This tackle involves coming into a challenge with one, or both, legs outstretched to reveal the sole of their shoes.<\/p>\n\n
\n \n
Judging challenges must be attributed to the defender\u2019s proximity to the play, the attempt to play the ball, the ability to play the ball, the force used in the challenge and any ulterior motive or malicious intent of the offender. This is what determines whether a foul is illegal or not.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n Diving\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Diving is one of the most controversial aspects of association football. It is the act of miming an injury or contact to induce a foul call from the referee. Players do it, managers always moan about it, and players that dive have often been accused of staining the values of the modern game and football at large.<\/p>\n\n
\n Why do sportsmen feel the need to dive?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n Diving is simply a deliberate act of deceiving the referee to earn a penalty, free kick or to see the opposing player sent off. Some players (such as Ronaldo?<\/a><\/strong>) have mastered it as an art.<\/p>\n\n
\n It has a ruinous effect on a player's reputation and has even forced the football association to draft penalties for players who dive. The rules state that attempts to deceive the referee by feigning injury or pretending to have been fouled must be sanctioned as unsporting behaviour, and is punishable by a yellow card. However, this rule is often overlooked.<\/p>\n\n
Betting on Tackles: Tips<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n In terms of strategy, using tackles stats and betting on tackles is a lot like betting on any other football stat, such as corner\u2019s goals and assists. Here are our top tips for betting on tackles:<\/p>\n\n
\n Use Stats\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Bookies use statistics to predict the outcome of any match and to set over \/ under odds. Thus, you should do the same.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n
Tackles are often an overlooked market, so they are a good opportunity for finding value. Use accurate football tackle stats to predict how well your defenders are likely to perform.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n Think About the Opposing Team\u2019s Offence Strength and Ball Possession<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Remember that your defender can only tackle the ball if the other team has it! The stronger the opposing team\u2019s offence, the more likely they will be in constant encounters with tackle attempts.<\/p>\n\n
\n Think About Your Team\u2019s Offence Strength and Ball Possession<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n When betting on a player\u2019s stats, you need to consider the overall strength and form of the team. If your team will be on the offence most of the time, they will likely not have much time for tackling streaking players while passing the ball around.<\/p>\n\n
\n Look for Trends and Value<\/strong>\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n Bookies look more at overall performance rather than the most recent trends. If you see a player\u2019s stats going against the trend while bookies may not have caught on yet, you may have found yourself a value bet<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n
