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 14 seasons from 1943-44 to 1987-88 it has fallen short of them by −11.5 match points.

Best season against expectation
1946-47 +7.0 league pts
30 points on 22.9 expected as CE Sabadell
Worst season against expectation
1948-49 −8.3 league pts
13 points on 21.3 expected as CE Sabadell

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.
