What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Sheffield Utd better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 20 scored from 18.4 xG, 17 conceded from 17.8 xGA over 14 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.
