Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 5 points from 9.5 xPTS (−4.5). By quality of play (xPTS) the club sits exactly where it is in the table: 20th. Source of the shortfall: missed chances (−3.3 goals vs xG).

Attack. 1.03 xG per match — 18th of 20 (league average 1.57): the attack creates less than most rivals. Scored 9 goals from 12.3 xG — 27% fewer than expected. Finishing is clearly below par — the chances are the same, so the goals will probably follow.

Defence. 2.03 xGA per match — 18th of 20 for solidity (league average 1.57): allows plenty of chances near its own goal. Conceded 23 goals from 24.4 xGA — exactly in line with the chances allowed. 18th of 20 for goals conceded per match — it is the chances, not bad luck.

Upside potential: HIGH. Performance is better than results by 0.38 points per match: expected pace 0.8 points per match vs the current 0.4.

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 0.42 points per match, the pace expected from the next opponents is 0.63. Over the next 5 rounds the model gives 3.2 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.
