What the xG says

SK Sturm Graz's underlying numbers are among the best in Austrian Bundesliga. They rank #4 for xG difference at +0.53 per match, built on elite shot volume rather than low chance quality. Their 8 goals are 4.78 below 12.78 xG, while 11 points are 0.93 below 11.93 xPts. After only 7 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
