Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 21 points from 15.7 xPTS (+5.3). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 4th in the league, but 2nd in the table. Source of the surplus: conceding less than expected (−4.9 vs xGA).

Attack. 1.79 xG per match — 9th of 18 (league average 1.85): an average attack for this league. Scored 16 goals from 16.1 xG — finishing is on par. What they create is what they score.

Defence. 1.32 xGA per match — 3rd of 18 for solidity (league average 1.85): allows few chances near its own goal. Conceded 7 goals from 11.9 xGA — 41% fewer than expected. The goalkeeper and opponent misses are carrying the team; keeping this up over a full season is rare.

Regression risk: HIGH. Points are ahead of performance by 0.59 per match: expected pace 1.7 points per match vs the current 2.3.

9 matches played. Over this distance the metrics already show a trend, but randomness is still large — treat this as an early signal, not a verdict.

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.

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.
