A gap can come from finishing, goalkeeping, game state or chance. xG and xPts are model estimates, not the result a team deserved.

About these figures What each column measures, and the thresholds this ranking is under. Show
P
— Matches played
xG
— Expected goals: the summed chance quality of the shots a team took
xGA
— Expected goals against: the summed chance quality of the shots a team allowed
xGD
— xG minus xGA
xGD/match
— xG minus xGA, per match with xG data
Pts
— Points

A club is ranked once it has 3 matches with xG and at least 75% of what the median club has played. Below that its row stays in the table, its rates are dashed and it sorts last.
