Two teams with the same win rate can be very different: one wins 1–0, the other 4–0. Goal difference per match measures how dominant a team is.
Rule of thumb for national teams: +0.5 per match is solid, above +1.0 is a real contender, above +1.5 is exceptional.
Read the chart: which teams concede fewer than 0.6 goals per match?

No formula on this page: goals scored (G) and conceded (H) are pre-filled, and column I fills itself in from them.
I = (G − H) ÷ B: (goals scored − goals conceded) ÷ matches.
