Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 15 points from 16.5 xPTS (−1.5). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 8th in the league, but 9th in the table. Points match the quality of play. Inside that balance fewer goals conceded than expected (−2.4 vs xGA), but finishing falls short (−2.3 vs xG) — one cancels the other.

Attack. 1.44 xG per match — 9th of 20 (league average 1.57): an average attack for this league. Scored 15 goals from 17.3 xG — 13% fewer than expected. A small finishing shortfall, still within the usual spread.

Defence. 1.36 xGA per match — 7th of 20 for solidity (league average 1.57): allows few chances near its own goal. Conceded 14 goals from 16.4 xGA — 14% fewer than expected. The gap is small, still within the usual spread.

Playing to its level. Points (15) are close to the quality of play (16.5 xPTS).

Round by round
