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 4 seasons from 1930-31 to 1933-34 it has fallen short of them by −9.6 match points.

1930-31 to 1933-34one bar per season · height in match points

Best season against expectation
1931-32 −0.2 league pts
28 points on 28.2 expected as Casale
Worst season against expectation
1930-31 −8.7 league pts
21 points on 29.7 expected as Casale

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.
