Method

Read against .

  • Expected is an offense and a defense a team, fit over every game of its season between two teams in the table with the game being read left out, plus 0.14 in 2024-25, plus 0.21 in 2025-26, plus 0.25 in 2026-27 for the home team (the edge the fit finds once strength is in), nothing at a neutral site.
  • Each expected number is then fit to the season’s games: a game bears out about 83% in 2024-25, 79% in 2025-26, 43% in 2026-27 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.
  • 22 games in 2024-25 and 2025-26 and 2026-27 are neither after a Champions League game nor in other league games, and sit out.
  • Read against the season’s ratings as of Nov 1, 2026; the games are the ones through Oct 17.
