14.27 vs 22 actual pts

Early-season figures: after 9 matches, per-match rates can move quickly.

Expected goals here are summed over 9 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

FC CSKA 1948 Sofia's underlying numbers are among the best in Parva Liga (Bulgaria). They rank #5 for xG difference at +0.36 per match, driven by high shot volume at about average chance quality. Their 15 goals are 0.04 below 15.04 xG, while 19 points are 4.73 above 14.27 xPts — both over the 9 matches with xG. After only 9 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
