Percentiles from 0 to 100: 90 means better than 90% of clubs in the league, or in the world. Higher means more of that quality. The profile describes the club. It is not part of the score. Missing bars mean there is not enough data yet. How the profile works.

This season they are taking 2.80 points a game from 10 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.50. That is 13.0 points more than the football deserved, which our model calls lucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1221, an easier schedule than the Swiss Super League average.

For context, the next one below is Young Boys, rated 1429. Their lead over the second-best side is 12 rating points.

On rating, they play like a tier-2 side, 1 tier above the level of their own league.

The Swiss Super League itself is 25th in our world league ranking, where its average club is 1.30 goals per 90 worse than the top-five average.

How sure are we? Confidence in this rating is high: the range of 81st to 245th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
