What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Southampton better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 18 scored from 12.1 xG, 8 conceded from 10.2 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.
