What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Brighton better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 9 scored from 10.1 xG, 9 conceded from 6.5 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.
