What the xG says

Auxerre's underlying numbers are among the weakest in Ligue 1. They rank #15 for xG difference at -0.63 per match, from low shot volume and low chance quality. Their 7 goals are 0.06 below 7.06 xG, while 6 points are 0.09 above 5.91 xPts. After only 5 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
