Are Lens better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 16 scored from 13.6 xG, 13 conceded from 12.1 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.
