That's how they've played so far. Where the model has Tottenham Hotspur finishing in May, and the odds on going down, come with a free account.

What the numbers say

Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.

Attack

Creating like a side further up the table

4th in the division for big chances created more than 16 of the 19 sides above them.

12

big chances

Attack

Wasteful, not toothless

Scoring about 43% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.

0.57

goals per expected

Defence

They win the ball back

2nd in the division for tackles. A side doing that much defending is either pressing well or living without the ball.

Shutouts are becoming a habit
