Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 17 points from 11.7 xPTS (+5.3). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 12th in the league, but 6th in the table. Source of the surplus: conceding less than expected (−5.8 vs xGA).

Attack. 1.46 xG per match — 9th of 18 (league average 1.59): an average attack for this league. Scored 15 goals from 14.6 xG — finishing is on par. What they create is what they score.

Defence. 1.79 xGA per match — 12th of 18 for solidity (league average 1.59): mid-table for chances allowed. Conceded 12 goals from 17.9 xGA — 33% fewer than expected. Part of these clean sheets rests on luck rather than defending.

Regression risk: HIGH. Points are ahead of performance by 0.53 per match: expected pace 1.2 points per match vs the current 1.7.

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 1.70 points per match, the pace expected from the next opponents is 1.21. Over the next 5 rounds the model gives 6.1 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.
