Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 14 points from 13.7 xPTS (+0.3). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 15th in the league, but 10th in the table. Points match the quality of play. On top of that, finishing falls short (−0.5 vs xG) and more goals conceded than expected (+3.3 vs xGA).

Attack. 1.45 xG per match — 8th of 20 (league average 1.57): an average attack for this league. Scored 17 goals from 17.4 xG — finishing is on par. What they create is what they score.

Defence. 2.22 xGA per match — 20th of 20 for solidity (league average 1.57): allows more in front of its own goal than anyone in the league. Conceded 30 goals from 26.7 xGA — 12% more than expected — the biggest overshoot of conceded goals in the league. The gap is small and usually closes over a season.

Playing to its level. Points (14) are close to the quality of play (13.7 xPTS).

Round by round
