13.76 vs 18 actual pts

Early-season figures: after 6 matches, per-match rates can move quickly.

Expected goals here are summed over 6 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

Polissya Zhytomyr's underlying numbers are among the best in Ukrainian Premier League. They rank #2 for xG difference at +1.51 per match, driven by the league's highest shot volume at about average chance quality. Their 13 goals are 0.13 below 13.13 xG, while 15 points are 1.24 above 13.76 xPts — both over the 6 matches with xG. After only 6 matches, those gaps should still be read cautiously.
