Atletico Madrid Lose 4 Straight La Liga Games — Season xG Average 1.49, But Under 1.05 in Every Loss
Atletico Madrid's 3-2 defeat at Elche on 22 April — a 16th-placed side where Atletico mustered just 6 shots and 1.01 xG — extended their run to four consecutive La Liga losses, their worst sequence in the dataset this season. Across those four defeats, Atletico generated xG of 1.00, 0.92, 0.79, and 1.01, all dramatically below their season average of 1.49 xG per game, and have dropped from title contenders to 4th with a real threat to their Champions League berth from Villarreal (62pts).
