Early-season figures: after 5 matches, per-match rates can move quickly.
Expected goals here are summed over 5 of 7 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
LNZ Cherkasy's underlying numbers are among the best in Ukrainian Premier League. They rank #5 for xG difference at +0.84 per match, built on elite chance quality rather than about average shot volume. Their 3 goals are 7.50 below 10.50 xG, while 5 points are 3.22 below 8.22 xPts — both over the 5 matches with xG. After only 5 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
