Method

  • Expected is what the opponent allowed midfielders in its other 2026-27 games, plus 0.10 for the home team (half the league’s home edge for midfielders that season), nothing at a neutral site, scaled to his share of his team’s midfielders’ goals in his games, 0%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 68% of the difference the model predicts.
