What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Start better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 18 scored from 22.3 xG, 32 conceded from 26.7 xGA over 15 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.
