Primeira Liga power ratings
Every Primeira Liga team ranked by the PreviaXI model. Attack = goals per game it would score against an average Primeira Liga side, defence = goals it would concede, rating = the difference. Unlike the league table, this ignores luck in finishing and weights recent form.
