What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Benfica better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 15 scored from 17.1 xG, 7 conceded from 6.4 xGA over 6 matches.

Expected goals measure the quality of chances created and faced, so a persistent gap between goals and xG marks finishing runs or goalkeeping variance rather than underlying strength. Coverage is stated because partial samples must never masquerade as a full season.
