Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 18 points from 15.9 xPTS (+2.1). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 12th in the league, but 8th in the table. Source of the surplus: finishing (+1.1 goals above xG).

Attack. 0.92 xG per match — 14th of 16 (league average 1.24): the attack creates less than most rivals. Scored 14 goals from 12.9 xG — finishing is on par. 14th of 16 for goals per match.

Defence. 1.26 xGA per match — 10th of 16 for solidity (league average 1.24): mid-table for chances allowed. Conceded 18 goals from 17.7 xGA — exactly in line with the chances allowed. What they allow is what they concede.

Regression risk: HIGH. Points are ahead of performance by 0.15 per match: expected pace 1.1 points per match vs the current 1.3.

Round by round
