Are Reading better or worse than their results?
Covered sample: 2 scored from 3.6 xG, 5 conceded from 2.6 xGA over 3 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.
