DID THEY EARN
THEIR POINTS?

A team sometimes collects more points than the chances it created deserve — luck goes its way — and sometimes fewer. This table compares each team's real points with the points it deserves according to chance quality (xG).

HOW TO READ IT

Lazio collected 22 points in 8 matches. Judged by the quality of the chances it created and conceded, the points it deserves are 13.2. So it has 8.8 points more than that — luck has gone its way.

  • Points deserved: the sum of the expected points calculated in each match from the two teams' chance quality (xG).
  • If the Gap is positive (green) the team has collected more points than it deserves, if negative (red) fewer.
  • Why does it matter? In the past this gap did not last: points returned to the deserved level over time (below).

Chance-quality (xG) data comes from Understat; each match's expected points are calculated from its xG values and summed over the season. There is no xG data for the Süper Lig, so this table does not exist for it. It is data analysis, not betting advice.
