Are Excelsior better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 13 scored from 7.9 xG, 7 conceded from 5.4 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.
