xG Conceded: The Silent Killer

tiams like Vilarova and Ferroviaria under 0.8 xG conceded per game—a metric buried beneath headline scores. This isn’t about clean sheets; it’s about compressed spatial resistance. When a side concedes under 0.8xG, they win at home more than twice as often. Vilarova’s backline? Not luck—it’s geometry.

OPI: Pressure As Power

Opposition Pressure Index measures how often a team forces error under high-intensity pressing. Teams with OPI >85% forced unforced turnovers in transition (e.g., Alavai vs Mynasgiras: 4-0). These aren’t flukes—they’re engineered failures of poor coaching.

Transition Recovery Rate: The Hidden Edge

When a team regains possession within 5 seconds after losing it? That’s the edge. Milenro America won six games where their transition recovery rate exceeded the league median by +37%. This is why they finished top—not because of stars—but because of structure.

The Pattern Emerges—Slowly

The data doesn’t care if you believe it—or if you watch it on mobile screens while eating ramen. What matters is that the best teams aren’t loud—they’re silent until they strike.

We’re not predicting wins—we’re mapping inevitability.
