Fixture difficulty

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

What the numbers say

Points. 15 points from 12.4 xPTS (+2.6). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 9th in the league, but 6th in the table. Source of the surplus: finishing (+2.7 goals above xG).

Attack. 1.59 xG per match — 13th of 18 (league average 1.85): the attack creates less than most rivals. Scored 17 goals from 14.3 xG — 19% more than expected. A small finishing bonus, still within the usual spread.

Defence. 1.56 xGA per match — 5th of 18 for solidity (league average 1.85): allows few chances near its own goal. Conceded 15 goals from 14.1 xGA — exactly in line with the chances allowed. What they allow is what they concede.

Regression risk: HIGH. Points are ahead of performance by 0.28 per match: expected pace 1.4 points per match vs the current 1.7.

9 matches played. Over this distance the metrics already show a trend, but randomness is still large — treat this as an early signal, not a verdict.

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.
