What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Sunderland better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 9 scored from 7.2 xG, 12 conceded from 8.6 xGA over 6 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.
