Tip
Using standing_id is recommended as it ensures the matrix clubs match your standing table exactly. The competition_id method derives clubs from matches which may differ.
Reading the Matrix
- Rows: Home teams
- Columns: Away teams
- Cell value: Score from home team’s perspective (e.g., “2-1” means home won)
- Empty cells: Match not yet played or same team (diagonal)
Troubleshooting
Matrix empty or incomplete?
- Verify matches exist and have results
- Check standing_id or competition_id is correct
- For multi-group competitions, verify group_id
Clubs missing from matrix?
- Clubs must have played at least one match
- Using standing_id ensures all standing clubs appear
