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 1.02 from 7 home matches. Home defence 1.17. Away attack 0.95 from 7 away matches. Away defence 1.14.
Next in the eight-day window: Wigan Athletic v Barnsley, Sat 14 Nov, 15:00. The model’s fair prices are home 40.4% (34/23), draw 23.9% (35/11), away 35.7% (9/5). λ 1.59, μ 1.48. That is a method. It is not a selection.
Regression flags
- Goals behind xG. Goals scored are 9.3 behind xG across 14 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.
