What the numbers say

Points. 7 points from 7.7 xPTS (−0.7). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 11th in the league, but 10th in the table. Points match the quality of play.

Attack. 1.52 xG per match — 9th of 20 (league average 1.64): an average attack for this league. Scored 11 goals from 9.1 xG (+1.9): the ball is going in more often than such chances usually allow. Finishing like this rarely lasts.

Defence. 2.29 xGA per match — 20th of 20 for solidity (league average 1.64). Conceded 16 goals from 13.8 xGA — 2.2 more than expected: opponents are scoring almost everything and the goalkeeper is not helping. But plenty of chances are allowed too — it is not just bad luck.

Playing to its level. Points (7) are close to the quality of play (7.7 xPTS).

6 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.

Round by round
