- Look at the average scouted points per match of team O_k. Compare this with the points scored in the match where Team D defended O_k.

Basically, you're statistically evaluating the impact Team D had on the teams they defended. Obviously not a perfect metric, but it at least couples some numbers to the eyeball test. The eyeball test can be notoriously weak when evaluating defense.
