I've been surfing for a statistical analysis that reveals the relationship between possession and goals scored in European club soccer. An ideal study would divide the field into thirds or quarters, and supply a league wide likelihood for goal scoring (and goal allowing) based on possession in each section. It would also be nice to know in which section possession is most frequently acquired.

I haven't found anything yet, and am surprised and disappointed. In fact, I haven't even found anything on the likelihood of scoring on a corner, which is shocking. Such a metric is readily calcuable, but apparently not available.
