    Recent samples1 / 5last-five windows
    FreshnessLess than one dayfrom 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.
