50+ Leagues 30+ Metrics Updated Daily

The League One xG table for 2025/26 tracks expected goals data for all 24 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?

Cardiff City top the xG charts with 77.61 expected goals from 45 games (1.72/90). They have scored 86 actual goals, outperforming their xG by +8.4.

Who has the best defence?

Bradford City have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 46.95 expected goals (1.04/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 50.

Biggest overperformer

Lincoln City are the biggest overperformers in League One, scoring 87 goals from an xG of just 71.12 — a difference of +15.9. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.

Biggest underperformer

Doncaster Rovers are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 47 from an xG of 67 (diff: -20). 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.

Data is updated daily, powered by advanced xG models covering 50+ competitions. Learn more about how xG works.

What is xG in football?

xG (Expected Goals) measures the quality of chances created. Each shot is assigned a probability of being scored based on factors like distance, angle, body part, and assist type. A team's total xG reflects how many goals they should have scored based on their chances. Read more about xG.
