14.25 vs 12 actual pts

Early-season figures: after 8 matches, per-match rates can move quickly.

Expected goals here are summed over 8 of 9 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

NK Celje's underlying numbers are among the best in PrvaLiga (Slovenia). They rank #2 for xG difference at +0.54 per match, from about average shot volume at about average chance quality. Their 9 goals are 3.75 below 12.75 xG, while 9 points are 5.25 below 14.25 xPts — both over the 8 matches with xG. After only 8 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
