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 4 seasons from 1928-29 to 1931-32 it has fallen short of them by −4.9 match points.
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.
