Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 12 points from 14.3 xPTS (−2.3). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 7th in the league, but 9th in the table. Source of the shortfall: missed chances (−2.1 goals vs xG) and extra goals conceded (+2.1 vs xGA).

Attack. 2.01 xG per match — 7th of 18 (league average 1.85): an average attack for this league. Scored 16 goals from 18.1 xG — 12% fewer than expected. A small finishing shortfall, still within the usual spread.

Defence. 1.66 xGA per match — 7th of 18 for solidity (league average 1.85): mid-table for chances allowed. Conceded 17 goals from 14.9 xGA — 14% more than expected. The gap is small and usually closes over a season.

Upside potential: HIGH. Performance is better than results by 0.26 points per match: expected pace 1.6 points per match vs the current 1.3.

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.
