What the numbers mean

Reviewed with every data refresh

Are Wigan Athletic better or worse than their results?

Covered sample: 3 scored from 3.7 xG, 1 conceded from 3.8 xGA over 3 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.
