Team profiles
What a team looks like from its results — how it scores, how much its margins swing, and how much home is worth.
45 teams with at least 8 matches in the last 5 years. Profiles describe a window rather than all history, anchored to the most recent match in the database. A team's identity in 1950 says nothing about it now, and averaging the two describes a team that never existed.

Who resembles whom
The same shape columns, reduced to two dimensions. Select a team to open its profile.
Teams that play alike sit close together. The two axes hold 67% of the variation between teams. Component 1 (45%) rises with more average margin, less points conceded. Component 2 (22%) rises with more high-scoring matches and margin swing.
10 of 45 teams sit too close together to name without covering another team's point, so they are drawn unlabelled. Every dot is still a link to that team, and its name is in the tooltip.
Reading the columns
- Rating
- Glicko-2, with its uncertainty after it. A large figure means the rating rests on few recent matches.
- Swing
- How much the winning margin varies. A high number is a team whose result is hard to call even when its rating is not.
- Home
- Points per match better at home than away, over the same window.
- Recent
- Last five results, most recent first.
