The League Two 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?
Barnet top the xG charts with 59.46 expected goals from 35 games (1.7/90). With 44 goals scored, they are underperforming by 15.5.
Who has the best defence?
Cambridge United have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 32.14 expected goals (0.95/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 27.
Biggest overperformer
Milton Keynes Dons are the biggest overperformers in League Two, scoring 63 goals from an xG of just 52.78 — a difference of +10.2. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.
Biggest underperformer
Oldham Athletic are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 36 from an xG of 51.71 (diff: -15.7). 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.
