The Liga MX xG table for 2026/27 tracks expected goals data for all 18 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?
Cruz Azul top the xG charts with 14.15 expected goals from 7 games (2.02/90). With 12 goals scored, they are underperforming by 2.2.
Who has the best defence?
Toluca have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 5.93 expected goals (0.99/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 4.
Biggest overperformer
Pumas UNAM are the biggest overperformers in Liga MX, scoring 8 goals from an xG of just 5.84 — a difference of +2.2. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.
Biggest underperformer
Santos Laguna are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 4 from an xG of 7.77 (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.
