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 6 seasons from 1929-30 to 1934-35 it has fallen short of them by −5.8 match points.

1929-30 to 1934-35one bar per season · height in match points

Best season against expectation
1933-34 +3.1 league pts
34 points on 30.9 expected as Pro Vercelli
Worst season against expectation
1934-35 −9.5 league pts
15 points on 24.5 expected as Pro Vercelli

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.
