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 1.70 points a game from 33 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.87. That is 5.7 points fewer than the football deserved, which our model calls unlucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1253, about the league average.
For context, the next club above them in the Argentine Primera is Boca Juniors, rated 1475, and the next one below is Rosario Central, rated 1434. The gap to the strongest side in the division, Boca Juniors, is 22 rating points.
Compared with the rest of their league, their style stands out for very high interceptions, adjusted for possession, very high passes completed close to goal and very high possession.
