    The difficulty rating measures the opposition, not Stoke City themselves: it compares the opponent and venue with what an average EFL Championship team would expect — how many points an average team could count on against the same opponent at the same ground, based on both teams’ expected goals (xG) for and against this season. Matches are split into five levels, from Easy to Very hard. The win chance shown alongside is Stoke City's own — the model’s prediction when it is available (about a week before the match), otherwise our estimate.
