Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 23 points from 20.1 xPTS (+2.9). By quality of play (xPTS) the club sits exactly where it is in the table: 1st. Source of the surplus: conceding less than expected (−3.2 vs xGA).

Attack. 2.36 xG per match — 1st of 18 (league average 1.59): creates more in front of goal than anyone in the league. Scored 22 goals from 23.6 xG — 7% fewer than expected. A small finishing shortfall, still within the usual spread.

Defence. 1.32 xGA per match — 6th of 18 for solidity (league average 1.59): allows few chances near its own goal. Conceded 10 goals from 13.2 xGA — 24% fewer than expected. Part of these clean sheets rests on luck rather than defending.

Regression risk: HIGH. Points are ahead of performance by 0.29 per match: expected pace 2.0 points per match vs the current 2.3.

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.
