Brentford's numbers last season

According to Sports.

Context

Brentford have shown impressive resilience after major squad losses. Their high ranking in terms of chance creation and shot conversion rate suggest a well-coached team capable of adapting and performing under pressure.

Why it matters

Last season, Brentford defied expectations by finishing in the top half of the Premier League table, despite high turnover. Their ability to create quality chances, as evidenced by their expected goals (xG) statistics, underlines their offensive potential. This demonstrates that the London club is capable of competing with the best teams in Europe, including Bayern Munich.

The previous summer, most observers saw Brentford struggling to survive after the departure of their coach, captain and two top scorers. The reality was quite different: the team secured a comfortable ranking in the top half of the table, as their underlying figures underline.

Despite a relatively low volume of shots – only four teams attempted fewer shots than the Bees – Brentford compensated with a remarkable quality of chances. The club thus found itself among the best teams in the championship in terms of creating chances, reaching an impressive 7th place in the expected goals (xG) ranking. In other words, the situations generated by the team had a high probability of leading to a goal.

Even more striking: on the scale of the five major European championships, only the German champion, Bayern Munich, created better chances on average than Brentford. This comparison highlights the London club's ability, despite its constraints, to produce actions of high offensive value - even excluding the 10 penalties in total that the Bees obtained, the highest figure in the championship.

In terms of efficiency, Brentford had the best shot conversion rate in the Premier League. However, and this is where the observation becomes paradoxical, the team could have been even more: they underperformed their xG by five goals. In other words, the total number of goals actually scored remains five units lower than what the quality of the chances suggested, a margin that only five teams have exceeded in the opposite direction (greater underperformance).

These statistical elements paint the portrait of a team with a very unique profile: few shots but high quality chances, an excellent conversion rate but a slight deficit compared to statistical expectations. For the management and the coach, the challenge is clear for the following season: maintain the ability to generate high-level opportunities while reducing the gap between xG and actual goals — either through improved finishing or tactical adjustments to increase attempts without losing quality.

Ultimately, Brentford's performance remains one of the positive surprises of the last year. The figures confirm that it was not a simple series of favorable results, but a solid statistical base on which the club can rely to aim even higher.

The rest

As the new season approaches, Brentford will need to capitalize on their offensive performances to continue to progress. The Bees will also need to work on their efficiency in front of goal to convert more chances into goals. The club could consider reinforcements to maintain their level of competitiveness in the Premier League.
