As we can see Sheffield United had more shots on target, quality shots, successful tackles, fouls,
successful dribbles, duels won, accurate long balls, accurate crosses, and most importantly
they created better chances (more expected goals).


Blackburn v Watford


Result

Blackburn 2 : 0 Watford

Expected Goals

Blackburn 2.00 : 0.65 Watford

Fair result

Blackburn 2 : 0 Watford


I don't know what is going on at Watford, they have an excellent squad but they
don't create much. They deserved to lose to Blackburn.


Huddersfield v Wigan


Result


Huddersfield 1 : 2 Wigan

Expected Goals

Huddersfield 3.00 : 3.25 Wigan

Fair result

Huddersfield 3 : 3 Wigan

Both Huddersfield and Wigan created enough chances to score three goals each
but Wigan were more clinical and took all three points.


Hull v Stoke

Result

Hull 0 : 3 Stoke

Expected Goals

Hull 1.30 : 2.70 Stoke

Fair result

Hull 1 : 2 Stoke

Stoke deserved to win this game but not 3:0.


Middlesbrough v Cardiff

Result

Middlesbrough 2 : 3 Cardiff

Expected Goals

Middlesbrough 2.65 : 2.45 Cardiff

Fair result

Middlesbrough 2 : 2 Cardiff

Middlesbrough unlucky to lose this one. This was a pretty even game.
Swansea, WBA and Middlesbrough are three unluckiest teams so far.

Preston v Burnley

Result

Preston 1 : 1 Burnley

Expected Goals

Preston 1.15 : 1.10 Burnley

Fair Result

Preston 1 : 1 Burnley

Both teams scored one goal each which is exactly how much they created.


Millwall v QPR

Result

Millwall 0 : 2 QPR

Expected Goals

Millwall 1.30 : 1.95 QPR

Fair Result

Millwall 1 : 1 QPR


Luton v Coventry

Result

Luton 2 : 2 Coventry

Expected Goals

Luton 1.55 : 1.60 Coventry

Fair Result

Luton 1 : 1 Coventry


Rotherham v Blackpool

Result

Rotherham 3 : 0 Blackpool

Expected Goals

Rotherham 2.70 : 0.80 Blackpool

Fair Result

Rotherham 2 : 0 Blackpool


Norwich v Bristol

Result

Norwich 3: 2 Bristol

Expected Goals

Norwich 4.40 : 3.20 Bristol

Fair Result

Norwich 4 : 3 Bristol

Norwich just continue to create plenty of high quality chances. They now also score many. Bristol as well but they also
continue to concede many. Norwich are my favourite to win the Championship title this season.


Reading v Sunderland

Result

Reading 0 : 3 Sunderland

Expected Goals

Reading 0.50 : 1.50 Sunderland

Fair Result

Reading 0 : 1 Sunderland

Reading should be in the bottom of the Championship table but
somehow they are third. Unsustainable.


WBA v Birmingham

Result

WBA 2 : 3 Birmingham

Expected Goals

WBA 1.85 : 1.55 Birmingham

Fair Result

WBA 1 : 1 Birmingham

WBA once more unlucky.​
