Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 4 points from 9.3 xPTS (−5.3) — the biggest underperformance in the league. By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 14th in the league, but 18th in the table. Source of the shortfall: missed chances (−3.7 goals vs xG) and extra goals conceded (+3.8 vs xGA).

Attack. 1.75 xG per match — 12th of 18 (league average 1.85): an average attack for this league. Scored 12 goals from 15.7 xG — 24% fewer than expected. Finishing is clearly below par — the chances are the same, so the goals will probably follow.

Defence. 2.36 xGA per match — 16th of 18 for solidity (league average 1.85): allows plenty of chances near its own goal. Conceded 25 goals from 21.3 xGA — 18% more than expected — the biggest overshoot of conceded goals in the league. The gap is small and usually closes over a season.

Upside potential: HIGH. Performance is better than results by 0.59 points per match: expected pace 1.0 points per match vs the current 0.4.

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.

Fixtures and forecast

Current pace is 0.44 points per match, the pace expected from the next opponents is 1.09. Over the next 5 rounds the model gives 5.4 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.
