What the numbers say

Points. 5 points from 7.0 xPTS (−2.0). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 6th in the league, but 9th in the table. A small shortfall, still within the margin of error. Source: missed chances (−2.3 goals vs xG).

Attack. 1.57 xG per match — 9th of 18 (league average 1.65): an average attack for this league. Only 4 goals scored from 6.3 xG (−2.3): the chances are there, the finishing is not. If the chance quality holds, the goals will come.

Defence. 0.98 xGA per match — 2nd of 18 for solidity (league average 1.65). Conceded 4 goals from 3.9 xGA — exactly in line with the chances allowed.

Playing to its level. Points (5) are close to the quality of play (7.0 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.
