Cumulative league totals. A line pulling away from its pair is a gap between goals and chances, not a verdict.

Ratings that feed the price

Attack is xG for divided by the league’s home or away average. Defence is xG against divided by what the opposition usually creates in that venue. Both are shrunk towards the league with four phantom matches, so two bright afternoons cannot set the price on their own. Home attack 1.04 from 6 home matches. Home defence 0.89. Away attack 0.99 from 7 away matches. Away defence 1.15.

No fixture for Peterborough United in the next eight days.

Regression flags

  • Goals behind xG. Goals scored are 8.8 behind xG across 13 matches. The shots have been worth more than the scoreline. That is a description of the gap, not a claim the side is due anything.

Take the workings with you

xgform is the daily table. The Stat Man is the book that builds it: Poisson, xG, home advantage, and why a short streak proves almost nothing. The chapter workings, the Poisson predictor and the season simulator all live on statman.uk. There is no separate xgform mailing list.
