What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Preston better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 6 scored from 8.2 xG, 13 conceded from 7.9 xGA over 7 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.
