Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 17 points from 19.1 xPTS (−2.1). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 6th in the league, but 8th in the table. Source of the shortfall: missed chances (−5.1 goals vs xG).

Attack. 1.91 xG per match — 6th of 20 (league average 1.70): one of the most dangerous attacks in the league. Scored 16 goals from 21.1 xG — 24% fewer than expected. Finishing is clearly below par — the chances are the same, so the goals will probably follow.

Defence. 1.47 xGA per match — 10th of 20 for solidity (league average 1.70): mid-table for chances allowed. Conceded 14 goals from 16.2 xGA — 13% fewer than expected. The gap is small, still within the usual spread.

Upside potential: HIGH. Performance is better than results by 0.19 points per match: expected pace 1.7 points per match vs the current 1.5.

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.

Fixtures and forecast

Current pace is 1.55 points per match, the pace expected from the next opponents is 1.60. Over the next 5 rounds the model gives 8.0 points. Outcome chances and expected points come from the opponent's attack and defence with a home advantage adjustment: a fixture is worth 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw.
