50+ Leagues 30+ Metrics Updated Daily

The WC Qualification Europe xG table for 2025/26 tracks expected goals data for all 54 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?

Belgium top the xG charts with 25.46 expected goals from 8 games (3.18/90). They have scored 29 actual goals, outperforming their xG by +3.5.

Who has the best defence?

England have the tightest defence by xGA, conceding just 2.41 expected goals (0.3/90). Their actual goals conceded stands at 0.

Biggest overperformer

Norway are the biggest overperformers in WC Qualification Europe, scoring 37 goals from an xG of just 25.43 — a difference of +11.6. This could indicate clinical finishing or luck that may not be sustainable over the full season.

Biggest underperformer

Finland are the most wasteful in front of goal, scoring 8 from an xG of 12.65 (diff: -4.7). 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.

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

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.
