The Eliteserien xG table for 2025/26 tracks expected goals data for all 16 teams. This includes xG (expected goals), xGA (expected goals against), xPTS (expected points), npxG (non-penalty xG), xGoT (expected goals on target), and the goals vs xG overperformance metric.
Who has the best attack?
Bodø / Glimt top the xG charts with 31.97 expected goals from 11 games (2.91/90). With 28 goals scored, they are underperforming by 4.
Who has the best defence?
Viking have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 11.91 expected goals (1.19/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 10.
Biggest overperformer
Viking are the biggest overperformers in Eliteserien, scoring 29 goals from an xG of just 24.39 — a difference of +4.6. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.
Biggest underperformer
Rosenborg are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 9 from an xG of 15.73 (diff: -6.7). Regression towards their xG would suggest improvement is likely.
Understanding the xG metrics
xG (Expected Goals): The total expected goals a team should have scored based on the quality of their chances.
xGA (Expected Goals Against): How many goals a team should have conceded — lower is better.
xPTS (Expected Points): How many league points a team deserves based on xG performance.
npxG (Non-Penalty xG): xG excluding penalties, giving a truer picture of open-play chance creation.
xGoT (xG on Target): Expected goals from shots that were on target only.
+/- (Overperformance): The difference between actual goals and xG. Positive = overperforming, negative = underperforming.
