Team evidence

Profile strength and recent return answer different questions

Attack and defense are Poisson model profiles. The geometric mean balances the published home and away split strengths. These values are not observed xG or xGA.

Five-match return is observed results. It counts three points for a win and one for a draw across exactly five validated recent matches. Rating takes a longer view.
