Freshness Less than one day from nearest prior match
At least one team has fewer than the configured season sample. At least one team has an incomplete last-five window. Recorded xG is incomplete, so xG context is omitted where unavailable. Known unknowns Lineups, injuries, suspensions and tactical changes are not available in the retained dataset. Some metrics are unavailable or below their observation minimum: goals_for, goals_against, xg_for, xg_against, shots, shots_on_target, possession, corners, cards, fouls. The completed-match sample is too small for broad style conclusions. The fixture season differs from the competition's configured active season.
