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 3 seasons from 1953-54 to 1957-58 it has fallen short of them by −3.0 match points.

Best season against expectation
1953-54 +1.9 league pts
28 points on 26.1 expected as Real Jaen
Worst season against expectation
1957-58 −5.5 league pts
20 points on 25.5 expected as Real Jaen

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.
