What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 48% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.52
goals per expected
Defence
They win the ball back
1st in the division for tackles. A side doing that much defending is either pressing well or living without the ball.
99

Shutouts are becoming a habit
