32.69 vs 24 actual pts

Expected goals here are summed over 23 of 25 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

SJK's underlying numbers sit close to the Veikkausliiga average. They rank #7 for xG difference at +0.04 per match, built on the league's best chance quality rather than about average shot volume. Their 25 goals are 14.28 below 39.28 xG, while 23 points are 9.69 below 32.69 xPts — both over the 23 matches with xG.
