3. Liga 2026/27: all 20 clubs on the same numbers
Projection built 2026-08-06 13:25 UTC; everything else read 2026-08-06 13:33 UTC · every figure per game or per cent, so clubs from divisions with different fixture counts sit in one table.
The 20 clubs starting this season did not all come from the same place: 14 from the 3. Liga · 2 from the 2. Bundesliga. The club order is the same in all eight tables, sorted by our projection, so you can follow one club straight down the page — from what it did last season to what we expect of it.

These rows are not like for like, and that is the point.
The clubs down from a higher division made their numbers against stronger opposition; the ones
promoted made theirs against weaker, over a different number of games. The projection in the last
table is where that is corrected — it applies the measured move between divisions rather than
taking last season at face value.

A club scoring above its xG finished better than the chances it made; a club conceding above its xGA was punished more than the chances it gave up. It is a description of last season, not a forecast of the next one, and the last column says on how many games the underlying figures were actually measured.

Squad value is the weakest column on this page. Values exist
for 211 of the 467 players in these squads and the gaps are not spread evenly — a club whose
total looks low may simply be a club we know less about, which is what "values known" is there to
tell you. Transfers are counted from 1 May, and our club feed returns only each club's most recent
movements, so the in/out counts are a floor rather than a full window.

How wrong this is, measured. Holding out one season at a time
and predicting it from the others, the projection misses by 0.251 points a game
— 9.5 points over 38 games. Handing every club the league average instead misses
by 0.259; assuming last season repeats misses by 0.312. The band is
that measured error, not a confidence interval and not a prediction of final position.

What these numbers do not know
No transfers are priced in beyond counting them, no injuries, no coaching
changes, no budgets, no pre-season. Attendances are not in our source for this division, so the
capacity column is the ground rather than the crowd. Pass accuracy is not shown because the figure
our source returns for it is not a percentage and we will not print a number we cannot stand
behind. And this is not a betting product: where we can check this family of model against closing
odds it loses to the market.
