What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Reading better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 25 scored from 22.5 xG, 13 conceded from 15.7 xGA over 13 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.
