What the xG says

Grasshopper Club Zürich's underlying numbers sit close to the Swiss Super League average. They rank #8 for xG difference at -0.18 per match, built on elite chance quality rather than about average shot volume. Their 13 goals are 5.07 below 18.07 xG, while 8 points are 3.60 below 11.60 xPts. After only 9 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
