Goal Difference Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Goal Difference (GD) is:

\[ GD = GS - GA \]

Where:

\( GD \) is the Goal Difference (+/- goals scored to allowed)
\( GS \) is the total goals scored
\( GA \) is the total goals allowed

What is Goal Difference?

Goal Difference is a measure used in sports, particularly in football (soccer), to determine the difference between the number of goals a team has scored and the number of goals it has allowed. It is an important metric for ranking teams in a league or tournament, especially when teams have the same number of points.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Goals Scored (GS) = 30
Total Goals Allowed (GA) = 20

Using the formula to calculate the goal difference:

\[ GD = 30 - 20 = 10 \]

The Goal Difference (GD) is 10.
