FC Viktoria Plzeň goalkeeper Wiegele recorded eight saves in a recent match, a figure that significantly exceeded his season average of 3.1 saves per game.

His performance contributed to an expected goals prevented value of 2.08 for that specific match. This statistic indicated that Plzeň conceded two fewer goals than would have been expected based on the danger of the shots faced.

Wiegele received a match rating of 8.8 for this display. This score placed him third among 173 individual goalkeeper performances by players who completed between 81 and 90 minutes of play.

Despite this strong single-game showing, his broader seasonal record places him lower in the league rankings. Wiegele ranks 14th in average rating among the 17 goalkeepers who have played at least 400 minutes this season.

His cumulative expected goals prevented total for the season stands at 0.39. He has kept only two clean sheets while conceding 19 goals during this period.

Tomáš Fruhwald currently leads the league in expected goals prevented with a value of 4.02, excluding penalties. He has made 28 saves in total during the season.

Fruhwald’s Livesport Rating has been negatively impacted by specific mistakes. He committed two errors that led to shots and two further errors that led directly to goals.

Michal Heča holds the top Livesport Rating among all goalkeepers in the competition. However, he ranks sixth in total expected goals prevented.

Heča has saved eight big chances during the season. This contribution helps maintain his high rating despite not leading the league in expected goals prevented.

At the other end of the spectrum, Jan Hanuš and Stanislav Dostál are rated as the two worst goalkeepers in the league. Their low rankings are primarily due to poor shot-stopping abilities.
