What the numbers say

Points. 7 points from 6.0 xPTS (+1.0). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 15th in the league, but 12th in the table. Points match the quality of play.

Attack. 1.17 xG per match — 14th of 20 (league average 1.64): the attack creates less than most rivals. Only 6 goals scored from 7.0 xG (−1.0): the chances are there, the finishing is not. If the chance quality holds, the goals will come.

Defence. 1.88 xGA per match — 16th of 20 for solidity (league average 1.64). Conceded 11 goals from 11.3 xGA — exactly in line with the chances allowed.

Playing to its level. Points (7) are close to the quality of play (6.0 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.
