The same clubs ranked on expected points — what each club's match-by-match xG would be worth on average.

Ranked by xPts. ▲ / ▼ beside the rank shows how far a club sits above or below its place in the actual table.

xG is available for 38 of 40 matches for St. Mirren.
xG is available for 0 of 4 matches for Partick Thistle.
xG is available for 0 of 4 matches for Dunfermline Athletic.
xG is available for 0 of 2 matches for Arbroath.
For those clubs the expected columns count only the matches with xG, and Pts vs xPts sets their expected points against the points from those same matches.

How to read this table

xG: Expected goals: the summed chance quality of the shots a club took. A chance scored nine times in ten is worth 0.9.
xGA: Expected goals against: the same measure for the shots a club allowed.
xGD: xG minus xGA: how far a club's chances outweighed its opponents', or the other way round.
xPts: Expected points: the points a club's match-by-match xG would be worth on average. Each match's two xG figures become chances of a win, a draw and a loss, and a win is worth 3 and a draw 1.
Pts vs xPts: Actual points minus expected points based on match xG. Positive, drawn in green, is more points than the chances were worth on average; negative, in red, is fewer. It measures the gap and says nothing about its cause.
npxG: Non-penalty xG: xG with penalties removed, offered where the competition's figures support it. It changes xG, xGA and xGD; xPts is always worked out from all xG.

Expected points are read off the same score matrix that prices the board: each played match's two xG totals are taken as scoring rates, and the team's share is 3 × P(win) + 1 × P(draw), summed over the season. Understat arrives at the same figure by simulating each shot, which needs per-shot data, held here for %{competitions}. Passes per defensive action and deep completions are not shown because no source here ingests the event data behind them.
