Are Chicago Fire better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 40 scored from 37.2 xG, 32 conceded from 29.1 xGA over 21 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.
