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 2.33 points a game from 9 matches, while their performances have been worth 2.36. That is 0.2 points fewer than the football deserved, which our model calls fair. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1504, a tougher schedule than the LaLiga average.

For context, the next club above them in the LaLiga is Barcelona, rated 1897, and the next one below is Atlético Madrid, rated 1723. The gap to the strongest side in the division, Barcelona, is 80 rating points.

Compared with the rest of their league, their style stands out for very high dribbling, very high shot volume and very high touches in the opposition box.

The LaLiga itself is 2nd in our world league ranking, where its average club is 0.04 goals per 90 worse than the top-five average.

How sure are we? Confidence in this rating is high: the range of 4th to 11th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
