Aleksandar Mitrovic’s Record-Breaking Season

Aleksandar Mitrovic is currently on the form of his life after breaking the Championship goal scoring record, which previously belonged to Ivan Toney of Brentford, of 31 goals on the 14th of March 2022 after scoring his 32nd and 33rd in Fulham FC’s win over bottom of the championship Peterborough to secure a 2-1 win.

The Serbian forward has now pushed on and has 38 goals in 37 games in the league for Fulham this season as well as contributing to seven goals with assists.

Mitrovic has some exceptional stats when the magnifying glass is put on them the centre forward currently has a 1.06 goal per game ratio in the Championship this season with a 0.19 assist per game ratio amounting to around one every five games, which is a superb addition for a primarily goalscoring attacker who is the focal point for Fulham FC’s goals this season.

The striker has only scored six of the 38 from penalties this season, which emphasises the Serbian’s prowess in front of goal, all of these stats combined result in a 1.25 goal or assist per game ratio, which currently places his form in terms of contributions above the likes of Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich; obviously, take this with a pinch of salt due to the level of potential opponents and the competitions both players play in but nevertheless it is still very impressive.

Mitrovic currently has 38 goals scored in the Championship from a recorded 29.33 expected goals, this suggests that the centre forward is scoring chances that he probably shouldn’t which should fill Fulham fans with a lot of confidence when this man has possession near an opponent’s goal.

If you run the numbers that leaves the Serbian with 0.77 expected goals per game, which when extrapolated implies that Mitrovic is predicted to score six more goals from his remaining eight games which would leave him with a staggering total of 44 goals in 46 games in the EFL Championship.

However, Fulham still have to play three teams in the top six of the England’s second-tier but with this man’s electric goal-scoring form it would be hard to stop him from continuing to fulfil or exceed his remaining predicted goals for the season.
