Points the goal difference is worth = GF^1.8 ÷ (GF^1.8 + GA^1.8) × 2 × GP × 1.115, the league's points a game, from 11 goals for and 11 against in 4 games. Last season: 78 points against 77.8. Expected points from shot quality (xG) are in the Shots section.

Difficulty is how often the opponent would beat an average team, from shot quality (our season model, which leans on last season early on). Red is the top quarter of the league, green the bottom quarter. Hover a bar for the numbers.

Next six: these opponents would beat an average team 52.0% of the time. 4 of the six made the 2025-26 playoffs.
