14.26 vs 21 actual pts

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

Expected goals here are summed over 8 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 Rapid București's underlying numbers are among the best in SuperLiga (Romania). They rank #3 for xG difference at +0.67 per match, built on high shot volume rather than low chance quality. Their 8 goals are 6.29 below 14.29 xG, while 15 points are 0.74 above 14.26 xPts — both over the 8 matches with xG. After only 8 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
