Abstract
An empirical investigation of persistence in sequences of consecutive match results in (association) football is presented. A Monte Carlo analysis is used to generate sequences of simulated match results for heterogeneous teams under assumptions of zero persistence. A comparison between the simulated results and 30 years of observed match results data for the English Premier League and Football League provides evidence of a negative persistence effect.
