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

What the xG says

Lecce's underlying numbers are among the weakest in Serie A. They rank #20 for xG difference at -1.32 per match, built on high chance quality rather than low shot volume. Their 5 goals are 0.29 below 5.29 xG, while 6 points are 3.01 above 2.99 xPts. After only 5 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
