What the data shows

Goals against chances made

Most goals above xG

Most goals below xG

Goals against chances allowed

Most conceded above xGA

Fewest conceded against xGA

A gap can come from finishing, goalkeeping, game state or chance. xG and xPts are model estimates, not the result a team deserved.

About these figures What each column measures, and the thresholds this ranking is under. Show
P
— Matches played
npxG
— Non-penalty expected goals: xG with penalties removed
npxGA
— Non-penalty expected goals against: xGA with penalties removed
npxGD
— npxG minus npxGA
npxGD/match
— npxG minus npxGA, per match with xG data
Pts
— Points

A club is ranked once it has 3 matches with xG and at least 75% of what the median club has played. Below that its row stays in the table, its rates are dashed and it sorts last.
