What the numbers say

Points. 5 points from 5.0 xPTS (±0.0). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 11th in the league, but 8th in the table. Points match the quality of play.

Attack. 1.18 xG per match — 16th of 18 (league average 1.65): the attack creates less than most rivals. Scored 4 goals from 4.7 xG — finishing is on par.

Defence. 1.30 xGA per match — 5th of 18 for solidity (league average 1.65). Conceded 4 goals from 5.2 xGA — exactly in line with the chances allowed.

Playing to its level. Points (5) are close to the quality of play (5.0 xPTS).

4 matches played. Over this distance the metrics already show a trend, but randomness is still large — treat this as an early signal, not a verdict.
