What the numbers say

Points. 22 points from 14.9 xPTS (+7.1). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 12th in the league, but 5th in the table. Source of the surplus: finishing (+1.9 goals above xG) and conceding less than expected (−2.5 vs xGA).

Attack. 1.59 xG per match — 7th of 20 (league average 1.57): one of the most dangerous attacks in the league. Scored 21 goals from 19.1 xG — 10% more than expected. A small finishing bonus, still within the usual spread.

Defence. 1.88 xGA per match — 16th of 20 for solidity (league average 1.57): allows plenty of chances near its own goal. Conceded 20 goals from 22.5 xGA — 11% fewer than expected. The gap is small, still within the usual spread.

Regression risk: HIGH. Points are ahead of performance by 0.59 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 1.83 points per match, the pace expected from the next opponents is 1.22. 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.
