Are Crystal Palace better or worse than their results?
Covered sample: 6 scored from 8.3 xG, 12 conceded from 9.0 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.
