goals a game over expected

A −0.69 difference in goals over expected at home vs away is a bit unusual: shuffle which games were at home and it comes up 7 times in 100.

A −0.50 difference in goals at home vs away is about what you’d expect.

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, 80%.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 68% 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.
