Travel and controls do not change the opposition score or rank.

How 35.835 becomes 18.8 / 100

100 × (35.835 − 33.522) ÷ (45.796 − 33.522). The weakest opposition average in this edition maps to 0; the strongest maps to 100. The scale is relative to this competition and season. A score of 100 is not a probability. Home and away averages show fixture context without an added multiplier.
