Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 14 points from 13.1 xPTS (+0.9). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 12th in the league, but 8th in the table. Points match the quality of play. On top of that, finishing runs above expectation (+0.1 vs xG) and fewer goals conceded than expected (−5.0 vs xGA).

Attack. 1.59 xG per match — 10th of 20 (league average 1.60): an average attack for this league. Scored 16 goals from 15.9 xG — finishing is on par. What they create is what they score.

Defence. 1.60 xGA per match — 11th of 20 for solidity (league average 1.60): mid-table for chances allowed. Conceded 11 goals from 16.0 xGA — 31% fewer than expected. Part of these clean sheets rests on luck rather than defending.

Playing to its level. Points (14) are close to the quality of play (13.1 xPTS).

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.
