How the line and tiebreakers work
EFL table ties are ordered by goal difference, goals scored and the competition's subsequent tie procedures. Equal points in this view are therefore not a guaranteed place.
Cutline and guarantee math uses the current SportsDB table plus scheduled games remaining. Equal records still require the official tiebreaker; provider schedule gaps can change the estimate.
