Fixture difficulty

What the numbers say

Points. 18 points from 12.4 xPTS (+5.6). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 10th in the league, but 4th in the table. Source of the surplus: finishing (+3.5 goals above xG) and conceding less than expected (−7.8 vs xGA).

Attack. 1.85 xG per match — 5th of 18 (league average 1.59): one of the most dangerous attacks in the league. Scored 22 goals from 18.5 xG — 19% more than expected. A small finishing bonus, still within the usual spread.

Defence. 2.18 xGA per match — 18th of 18 for solidity (league average 1.59): allows more in front of its own goal than anyone in the league. Conceded 14 goals from 21.8 xGA — 36% fewer than expected — the luckiest goal in the league. Part of these clean sheets rests on luck rather than defending.

Regression risk: HIGH. Points are ahead of performance by 0.56 per match: expected pace 1.2 points per match vs the current 1.8.

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 1.80 points per match, the pace expected from the next opponents is 1.26. Over the next 5 rounds the model gives 6.3 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.
