Against expectation

Every Dutch top-flight match this club has played in the Eredivisie, scored against the odds an Elo rating gave it before kick-off. Over 3 seasons from 1956-57 to 1976-77 it has fallen short of them by −8.0 match points.

1956-57 to 1976-77one bar per season · height in match points

Best season against expectation
1975-76 −3.6 league pts
27 points on 30.6 expected as SC Eindhoven
Worst season against expectation
1956-57 −8.5 league pts
20 points on 28.5 expected as SC Eindhoven

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.
