Chances and goals
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 1.08 from 6 home matches. Home defence 1.06. Away attack 1.27 from 7 away matches. Away defence 1.08.
No fixture for Walsall in the next eight days.
Regression flags
- Conceding fewer than xG. Goals conceded are 8.6 below xG against across 13 matches. Keeper form and finishing against barely show up in the shot model. Chapter 20 is the longer argument.
