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 16 seasons from 1929-30 to 1995-96 it has fallen short of them by −12.6 match points.

1929-30 to 1995-96one bar per season · height in match points

Best season against expectation
1957-58 +7.8 league pts
42 points on 34.2 expected as Calcio Padova
Worst season against expectation
1995-96 −11.0 league pts
24 points on 35.0 expected as Calcio Padova

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.
