Against expectation

Every Italian top-flight match this club has played in the Serie A, scored against the odds an Elo rating gave it before kick-off. Over 13 seasons from 1929-30 to 1959-60 it has fallen short of them by −11.0 match points.

1929-30 to 1959-60one bar per season · height in match points

Best season against expectation
1931-32 +6.8 league pts
38 points on 31.1 expected as US Alessandria 1912
Worst season against expectation
1936-37 −7.6 league pts
18 points on 25.6 expected as US Alessandria 1912

Season points use that season’s own scoring, two for a win before 1994-95 and three from it; the bars use match points so the whole series is comparable. The rating only starts telling you much after about 1960. Before that, knowing the era’s home-and-away split is almost as good as knowing the teams.
