What the xG says

FC Universitatea Cluj's underlying numbers are among the best in SuperLiga (Romania). They rank #6 for xG difference at +0.28 per match, built on elite chance quality rather than about average shot volume. Their 14 goals are 3.81 below 17.81 xG, while 15 points are 1.04 above 13.96 xPts. After only 9 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
