Are Portland Timbers better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 39 scored from 30.4 xG, 34 conceded from 27.6 xGA over 20 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.
