Are Benfica better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 26 scored from 19.6 xG, 8 conceded from 7.5 xGA over 9 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.
