[Albion] Brighton have 3rd best xG in Europe

[Guinness Boy]

We’re currently in the top three in the whole of Europe. Not a stat I care for much but some will be loving this.

If our Tone is one of them is Génésio on the succession list, just in case? Over 50% win rate pretty much everywhere although only really coached in France and China.

 

[Bakero]

We really should be Expecting more Goals than the likes of Barcelona.

FWIW, we have conceded the third worst xG (7.11) in the league.

If anyone thought there was a lot of goals in our games last season, this season threatens to surpass it.

If anyone thought there was a lot of goals in our games last season, this season threatens to surpass it.

Although our xGA is third worst in the league when compared to the amount we've actually let in we are 3rd best. Only Fulham (5 goals conceded from an xGA of 9.29)and Spurs (2 goals let in from an xGA of 4.84) have a better difference than us.

Although you do have to counter in that Luton and Wolves are not prolific when converting chances as shown by their own xGs. Luton have 1 goals from an xG of 2.35 and Wolves have 2 goals from an xG of 5.81 (the worse difference in the league currently).
