Sampierdarenese
Heartbreak#6113.2Genoa, Genoa · Italy · Serie A
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 4 seasons from 1934-35 to 1945-46 it has fallen short of them by −5.6 match points.
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.
1945-46 table not final: two regional groups (Alta Italia, Centro-Sud) plus a final round.
