Why only 48%?
FC Schalke 04 hold 13 more possession points (52 to 39 in recent games) across a 92-point rating gap.

What did we measure but not count?
FC Augsburg sit -0.36 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0.

The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
