Sorted by xG difference in this window. Pos is the season position on points, so a club can lead this list and sit mid-table. Home and away are xG for and against per match. GF−xG is goals minus xG: a positive number is more goals than the shots were worth. xG is an input, not a claim about who should have won.

Regression flags

  • Oxford United
    • Conceding fewer than xG. Goals conceded are 9.6 below xG against across 13 matches. Keeper form and finishing against barely show up in the shot model. Chapter 20 is the longer argument.
  • Leyton Orient
    • Conceding fewer than xG. Goals conceded are 6.8 below xG against across 13 matches. Keeper form and finishing against barely show up in the shot model. Chapter 20 is the longer argument.
  • Wigan Athletic
    • Goals behind xG. Goals scored are 9.3 behind xG across 14 matches. The shots have been worth more than the scoreline. That is a description of the gap, not a claim the side is due anything.
  • Peterborough United
    • Goals behind xG. Goals scored are 8.8 behind xG across 13 matches. The shots have been worth more than the scoreline. That is a description of the gap, not a claim the side is due anything.

A flag needs eight matches, a gap of at least six goals, and at least 0.40 of a goal per match. It is a marker for Chapter 20’s regression question. It is not a selection.

Home advantage, this season

Home sides in the League One are averaging 1.56 xG. Away sides are averaging 1.41. That gap is this season’s home advantage, estimated from the shots, not a constant carried over from a textbook.

Fair prices from xG

The next eight days, priced from season home and away xG with a four-match shrinkage towards the league average. These are the model’s probabilities and the fair fractional odds that fall out of them. The margin is already off. They are not a bookmaker’s price, and they are not a suggestion to bet. Plain Poisson, as in Chapter 16. The low-score correction in Chapter 17 is not applied.

xgform is the daily table. The Stat Man is the book that builds it: Poisson, xG, home advantage, and why a short streak proves almost nothing. The chapter workings, the Poisson predictor and the season simulator all live on statman.uk. There is no separate xgform mailing list.
