What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Watford better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 12 scored from 14.0 xG, 23 conceded from 24.1 xGA over 13 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.
