Are Sheffield Utd better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 8 scored from 7.4 xG, 9 conceded from 10.6 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.
