Fixture difficulty

The next three opponents by the club's own chances. A mixed run.

What the numbers say

Points. 17 points from 23.1 xPTS (−6.1). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 5th in the league, but 9th in the table. Source of the shortfall: missed chances (−1.3 goals vs xG) and extra goals conceded (+3.2 vs xGA).

Attack. 1.31 xG per match — 7th of 16 (league average 1.24): an average attack for this league. Scored 17 goals from 18.3 xG — 7% fewer than expected. A small finishing shortfall, still within the usual spread.

Defence. 0.84 xGA per match — 1st of 16 for solidity (league average 1.24): allows less in front of its own goal than anyone in the league. Conceded 15 goals from 11.8 xGA — 27% more than expected. Opponents are finishing better than the quality of their chances allows.

Upside potential: HIGH. Performance is better than results by 0.44 points per match: expected pace 1.7 points per match vs the current 1.2.

Round by round

The solid line is points won, the dashed line is expected points (xPTS). The gap shows how far results run ahead of performance, or behind it.
