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 1.11 points a game from 9 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.63. That is 4.7 points fewer than the football deserved, which our model calls unlucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1332, a tougher schedule than the Eredivisie average.
