L90 Strength L90 Strength is LOAD90’s own club strength rating on a fixed 0–100 scale, built from its Elo rating. League Strength uses the mean Elo of a league's clubs and a separate league calibration, so the two scores are not directly comparable.
-2.9 is current form. We look at the goals the team scores and concedes and at the quality of its chances (expected goals, xG) over recent matches. If attack and defence are playing above what the Elo rating predicts, L90 Strength goes up for the forecast; if below, it goes down.
Base L90 Strength changed +1.6 over the last 5 matches; that is already inside the number. 21.1-2.9

L90 Strength
Short on strength, fighting for points.
Fortuna Sittard rely on a mid-table defence, but their attack is among the league's weakest and costs them. Across the 9 league matches with forecasts, they have collected around 6 more points than our pre-match forecasts predicted. Iván Márquez and J. Dahlhaus are out, and The toughest of the next 3 matches is the trip to Feyenoord.
They are comfortable without the ball, with only 35% possession, and look to hurt teams on the break. They are clinical in front of goal (18% of shots scored), and give up a lot of shots (19 a game). Unusually, they travel better than they host: 2.2 points per game away against 1.0 at home.

Key insights
Automatic descriptive highlights for Fortuna Sittard. Each metric is ordered within its own type; types alternate to keep the selection varied. Up to six distinct signals for this club in each category.Result statistics require at least five known completed matches. They use the last ten recorded results across all competitions, or the last eight away results. Future, special and invalid results are excluded; missing results can interrupt real-world sequences, so streaks refer to recorded results. 10+ means at least ten within the window.
Bars run oldest to newest. Height shows goals scored, or goals conceded in conceding cards, on the same 0–6 scale. Six or more goals use maximum height; zero retains a small marker. Colour shows the result: teal = win, amber = draw, red = loss. In event and streak cards, solid bars mark the event and faded bars mark its absence. Hover for the date, full score and event. xG and points cards compare their two inputs, not a fabricated history.
xG Difference uses observed Playing style averages; window size is not xG coverage and the two metrics can have different denominators. Points minus xPts uses the same covered current-league matches and stored forecasts as Club strength, including labelled historical reconstructions.

Higher in the table than their strength suggests.
Form compares points with what a median top-five club (L90 Strength 50) would take from the same fixtures, so wins over strong sides count for more; 50 is a typical run. "Own forecasts" is the gap to this club's pre-match expectations. Form is context: in our tests it did not improve the forecast.
