Football opposition

Opposition strength, explained

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

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

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

How 75.688 becomes 60.9 / 100

100 × (75.688 − 67.218) ÷ (81.125 − 67.218). 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.
