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?

Bristol Rovers top the xG charts with 11.89 expected goals from 5 games (2.38/90). They have scored 12 actual goals, outperforming their xG by +0.1.

Who has the best defence?

Northampton Town have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 4.7 expected goals (0.94/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 3.

Biggest overperformer

Newport County are the biggest overperformers in League Two, scoring 9 goals from an xG of just 4.63 — a difference of +4.4. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.

Biggest underperformer

Chesterfield are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 6 from an xG of 9.79 (diff: -3.8). 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.

What is xG in football?

xG (Expected Goals) measures the quality of chances created. Each shot is assigned a probability of being scored based on factors like distance, angle, body part, and assist type. A team's total xG reflects how many goals they should have scored based on their chances. Read more about xG.
