Palmeiras Tops the Brasileirão Série A Crime Index
Average Crime Index per team across every reviewed match this season — how often a team's results diverge from what xG says they deserved. A high average doesn't mean foul play: it can mean a run of goalkeeping heroics, freakishly clinical finishing, or simply a team the stats keep robbing. Only teams with at least three reviewed matches are included — a single outlier match would otherwise skew a team's spot in the ranking. What Crime Index is and how it's calculated — full methodology.
