15.85 vs 24 actual pts

Early-season figures: after 7 matches, per-match rates can move quickly.

Expected goals here are summed over 7 of 10 matches — the rest were played with no xG figure published for them, so the margins compare two different lengths of season.

What the xG says

CSKA Sofia's underlying numbers are among the best in Parva Liga (Bulgaria). They rank #2 for xG difference at +1.38 per match, built on the league's highest shot volume rather than low chance quality. Their 14 goals are 1.69 below 15.69 xG, while 15 points are 0.85 below 15.85 xPts — both over the 7 matches with xG. After only 7 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
