The 2020 groups, adjusted for luck

Belgium have +3.5 points more than their play were worth, the luckiest team; Denmark −3.8, the unluckiest.

Replay points: each match replayed 4,000 times from both sides’ own shots, each a goal at its expected-goals chance, and the team given the points it earns on average, three for a win, one for a draw. The tested result: after ten matches, replay points predict the rest of a season far better than the real table (how much better).
