10.32 vs 8 actual pts

Early-season figures: after 5 matches, per-match rates can move quickly.

What the xG says

Paris Saint-Germain's underlying numbers are among the best in Ligue 1. They rank #2 for xG difference at +1.14 per match, driven by the league's highest shot volume at about average chance quality. Their 8 goals are 3.41 below 11.41 xG, while 8 points are 2.32 below 10.32 xPts. After only 5 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
