Against expectation

Every Spanish top-flight match this club has played in the Primera División, scored against the odds an Elo rating gave it before kick-off. Over 7 seasons from 1928-29 to 1934-35 it has fallen short of them by −7.4 match points.

1928-29 to 1934-35one bar per season · height in match points

Best season against expectation
1929-30 +2.1 league pts
20 points on 17.9 expected as Arenas de Getxo
Worst season against expectation
1934-35 −8.4 league pts
9 points on 17.4 expected as Arenas de Getxo

Season points use that season’s own scoring, two for a win before 1995-96 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.
