How Efficiency Beat Territory Twice Over: New York City FC vs Chicago Fire 3:1
Why did a match with almost identical expected goals finish 3:1 rather than something tighter? Because New York City FC spent 31 minutes in the first half doing what Chicago Fire spent the whole ninety trying and failing to do: turning pressure into goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many players are in Chicago Fire's current squad?
28 players: goalkeepers — 3, defenders — 11, midfielders — 5, attackers — 9.
How often do Chicago Fire's match results diverge from the xG-expected outcome?
Bravsen has analyzed 1 match — average Crime Index 68, with 1 scoring 60+ (the threshold for an anomalous gap between the result and the xG model).
Only one Chicago Fire match has been reviewed on this site so far — a 1-3 road loss to New York City FC, Crime Index 68%, a moderately elevated figure: by chance quality, the game appears to have been closer than the two-goal margin on the scoreboard suggested.
Overall finishing runs slightly ahead of the model
Across the 5 matches with calculated xG, Chicago Fire generated 7.63 expected goals and scored 9 — a small but consistent positive gap. Combined with the club's single reviewed match so far, that points to a team that's generally a touch more efficient in front of goal than the quality of its chances would suggest, with the loss to NYCFC reading more like an exception than confirmation of a pattern.
Only 2 articles about the club so far — a small sample
At this data volume, conclusions should be treated as preliminary: as more of Chicago Fire's matches enter the database, it will become clearer whether the gap in the New York City FC game was a one-off or an early sign of something broader.
