Vancouver Whitecaps top the xG charts with 62.95 expected goals from 30 games (2.1/90). With 63 goals scored, they are underperforming by 0.
Who has the best defence?
Vancouver Whitecaps have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 32.22 expected goals (1.07/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 31.
Biggest overperformer
Inter Miami are the biggest overperformers in Major League Soccer, scoring 73 goals from an xG of just 58.33 — a difference of +14.7. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.
Biggest underperformer
New York RB are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 39 from an xG of 49.64 (diff: -10.6). 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.
