Schedule Difficulty attempts to forecast how easy (or difficult) a team's upcoming fixtures are. The opposition's team rating and home ground advantage are the main factors in grading the difficulty of the fixture. The overall schedule difficulty is an aggregation of all the matches the team is yet to play.
