50+ Leagues 30+ Metrics Updated Daily

The League Two xG table for 2026/27 tracks expected goals data for all 24 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?

Chesterfield top the xG charts with 24.39 expected goals from 12 games (2.03/90). With 18 goals scored, they are underperforming by 6.4.

Who has the best defence?

Port Vale have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 9.98 expected goals (1/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 10.

Biggest overperformer

Cheltenham Town are the biggest overperformers in League Two, scoring 21 goals from an xG of just 14.94 — a difference of +6.1. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.

Biggest underperformer

Grimsby Town are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 15 from an xG of 22.4 (diff: -7.4). 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.

Data is updated daily, powered by advanced xG models covering 50+ competitions. Learn more about how xG works.
