Filter options
Avg	The average of the two teams. i.e. (home team + away team) / 2.
Home Team	Figures apply only to the fixture's home team.
Away Team	Figures apply only to the fixture's away team.
H@H	Home at home. Figures apply only to the fixture's home team and only matches where they played at home.
A@A	Away at away. Figures apply only to the fixture's away team and only matches where they played away.
Venue	The average of home team's home matches and the away team's away matches. i.e. (H@H + A@A) / 2
>=	Greater than or equal to
<=	Less than or equal to
|>=|	Greater than or equal to but ignores the sign of the stat. e.g. if the team's stat is -3 it becomes +3. So |>=| 3 looks for stats >= 3 and <= -3. This is useful for HvA and Goal Edge where the figures can be negative but you are looking for high values regardless of sign.
|<=|	Less than or equal to but ignores the sign of the stat. e.g. if the team's stat is -5 it becomes +5. So |<=| 5 looks for stats <= 5 and >= -5 (i.e. between -5 and 5 inclusive). This is useful for H v A and Goal Edge where the figures can be negative but you are looking for low values regardless of sign.

Form Category
PPG	Points per game. 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw. Total points for the teams divided by the total games.
PPG L8	Points per game for last 8 games only. Points for last 8 divided number of games in last 8.
Opp PPG L8	Takes the team's last 8 games. For each team played, the PPG L8 is calculated. Then the average PPG L8 of all 8 opponents is calculated. A higher number indicates the team has played tougher opponents on average over the last 8 games.
PPG Bias	The difference between PPG L8 and Opp PPG L8. It refers to the variance in a team's performance, comparing the points per game achieved to their last 8 opponents.
GoalSense	GoalSense employs a proven formula that considers both the quantity of goals scored and the timing of these goals in a match. By analysing a team's recent performance and the specific moments when goals are netted, GoalSense calculates a percentage that helps predict matches likely to witness a significant number of goals.
SD	Standard deviation. Used to calculate the variance of goals the teams scored compared to their average. It gives us a clue about the likely scorelines. The closer the standard deviation is to zero, the more consistent and predictable the scores are. For more information and the actual equation see this website: wikihow.com/Calculate-Standard-Deviation.
Avg goals	The average number of goals the teams have scored in all matches. Total goals scored divided by total games played.
H v A	Measures the ability and strength differences between the two teams. Calculated as: (Home Offence Index + Home Defence Index) - (Away Offence Index + Away Defence Index). A negative number indicates a performance advantage to the home team and a positive number indicates an advantage to the away team.
Goal Edge	An indicator of the likelihood of goals based on the offence and defence ratings and the number of teams in the league. The closer to zero the better for goals. Calculated as: ( (Home Offence Index + Home Defence Index + Away Offence Index + Away Defence Index) / 2 ) - (teams in league + 1).
Offence Index	All teams in the league are ordered by goals scored (high to low). The index is their position in the table. Position 1 has best offence (most goals scored).
Defence Index	All teams in the league are ordered by goals conceded (low to high). The index is their position in the table. Position 1 has best defence (least goals conceded).
