What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
Creating like a side further up the table
2nd in the division for big chances created more than 6 of the 7 sides above them.
15

Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 22% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.78
goals per expected
Defence
They win the ball back
3rd in the division for tackles. A side doing that much defending is either pressing well or living without the ball.

They win it in the air
