A +0.37 difference in goals over expected at home vs away is a bit unusual: shuffle which games were at home and it comes up 13 times in 100.

A +0.40 difference in goals at home vs away is about what you’d expect.

Method

  • Expected is what the opponent allowed defenders in its other 2026-27 games, plus 0.01 for the home team (half the league’s home edge for defenders that season), nothing at a neutral site, scaled to his share of his team’s defenders’ goals in his games, 100%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 82% of the difference the model predicts.
  • The shuffle keeps the season’s shape: the games are cut into stretches, one a 10 games, where the dates leave the least variance, each game is read against its stretch, and the sides are shuffled only inside each stretch.
