What the numbers say

Points. 1 point from 2.2 xPTS (−1.2). By quality of play (xPTS) it ranks 14th in the league, but 16th in the table. A small shortfall, still within the margin of error. Source: missed chances (−0.9 goals vs xG) and extra goals conceded (+4.1 vs xGA).

Attack. 1.23 xG per match — 15th of 18 (league average 1.98): the attack creates less than most rivals. Scored 4 goals from 4.9 xG — finishing is on par.

Defence. 3.21 xGA per match — 17th of 18 for solidity (league average 1.98). Conceded 17 goals from 12.9 xGA — 4.1 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 (1) are close to the quality of play (2.2 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.

Round by round

The solid line is points won, the dashed line is expected points (xPTS). The gap shows how far results run ahead of performance, or behind it.
