The Serie A xG table for 2025/26 tracks expected goals data for all 20 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?
Vasco da Gama top the xG charts with 29.23 expected goals from 18 games (1.62/90). With 22 goals scored, they are underperforming by 7.2.
Who has the best defence?
Athletico PR have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 16.91 expected goals (0.94/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 18.
Biggest overperformer
Botafogo are the biggest overperformers in Serie A, scoring 31 goals from an xG of just 19.33 — a difference of +11.7. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.
Biggest underperformer
Vasco da Gama are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 22 from an xG of 29.23 (diff: -7.2). 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.
