9.50 vs 19 actual pts

Early-season figures: after 9 matches, per-match rates can move quickly.

Expected goals here are summed over 9 of 10 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

FC Petrolul Ploieşti's underlying numbers are among the weakest in SuperLiga (Romania). They rank #14 for xG difference at -1.04 per match, from about average shot volume at low chance quality. Their 12 goals are 0.07 below 12.07 xG, while 16 points are 6.50 above 9.50 xPts — both over the 9 matches with xG. After only 9 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
