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 1.83 points a game from 12 matches, while their performances have been worth 2.12. That is 3.4 points fewer than the football deserved, which our model calls unlucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1344, about the league average.
For context, the next one below is Wolverhampton Wanderers, rated 1506. Their lead over the second-best side is 102 rating points.
On rating, they play like a tier-1 side, 1 tier above the level of their own league.
The Championship itself is 8th in our world league ranking, where its average club is 0.85 goals per 90 worse than the top-five average.
How sure are we? Confidence in this rating is high: the range of 23rd to 71st is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
