Football opposition

Opposition strength, explained

Each opponent counts equally. This describes the schedule; it does not predict how this club will perform.

Opposition rank21 / 36

Highest opponent average ranks first. Equal averages share a rank.

  1. All opponents8 matches · average coefficient36.166
  2. Home opponent average4 nominal home matches35.27
  3. Away opponent average4 away matches37.063
Travel burden11,660 kmModeled round-trip distance
Estimated controls8 eventsRoutine arrivals across modeled round trips

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

How 36.166 becomes 21.5 / 100

100 × (36.166 − 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.
