The La Liga 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?
FC Barcelona top the xG charts with 70.82 expected goals from 29 games (2.44/90). They have scored 78 actual goals, outperforming their xG by +7.2.
Who has the best defence?
Athletic Club have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 30.22 expected goals (1.04/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 41.
Biggest overperformer
FC Barcelona are the biggest overperformers in La Liga, scoring 78 goals from an xG of just 70.82 — a difference of +7.2. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.
Biggest underperformer
Rayo Vallecano are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 28 from an xG of 40.8 (diff: -12.8). 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.
