Most hi,
Here are some stats and graphs which determine which is the best football derby in the world.
The most important thing in games is goals and in a recent study it was determined that the more you score, the more goals you get.
Therefore I have ranked the world’s top 10 derbies in order of most goals per game on average, therefore determining which is best.
Table 3.1 – Top 10 Derbies in the World – Goals per Game (last 20 games)
| Derby | Goals per Game |
| 1. Dundee v Dundee Utd | 3.75 |
| 2. Barcelona v Real Madrid | 3.4 |
| 3. Celtic v Rangers | 3 |
| 4. Arsenal v Spurs | 2.95 |
| 5. Borussia Dortmund v Borussia Mönchengladbach | 2.9 |
| 6. Albion Rovers v Stirling albion | 2.9 |
| 7. AC Milan v Inter Milan | 2.3 |
| 8. Man Utd v Liverpool | 2.1 |
| 9. Hearts v Hibs | 1.95 |
| 10. Boca v River | 1.95 |
Here is a graph showing how good the Dundee Derby is. As you can see, the more good it is the better it gets as well. So it’s like a double effect.

How weird does the word “Good" look and sound when you say it over and over. Has it always looked like that?
Anyway, we can now end the debate about which is the best derby in the world. Please do not discuss any further. I was going to do some graphs and stuff about racism and sectarianism and such but I am on a half day today as I need to get to the best derby in the world which takes place tonight.
I have included some teams from the derbies listed as you will no doubt want to debate the topic in detail and put forward your own arguments. This could get heated!!
Bye
