Through 7 rounds, but only six game stats for Napoli and Juventus as the Old Lady were awarded a 3-0 home win in their h2h fixture after Napoli were ordered not to travel by their local health authority, but Serie A know best ! Positive numbers in blue type.

Not much point in running full xP numbers, they are very tight with only 11 points separating all 20 teams, but Udinese again make the top 6 and Verona the bottom 6, with Benevento bottom of the pile. I cannot believe that there will be 10 league places between Verona or Udinese come the end of the season and expect to see I Bianconeri climbing the table soon.

 

I think the fact that the top 7 plus net numbers aside from Udinese fill the top 7 spots in the league and that the next best team occupies 9th, only further highlights Udinese's claim to be a top ten team.

 

 

ITB= inside the box attempts, Goal of the month competitions usually feature several long range contenders and we always remember those 30 yard bullets into the top corner, but only 12.87% of Premier League goals over the last three seasons have been scored from outside the box , good coaches are known to encourage players to look for better scoring opportunities and it is usually only supporters urging "shoooooot" everytime the goal is within sight, even if there are 20 players between ball and net .

 

XG= expected goals.

XGF= expected goals for.

XGA = expected goals against.

XGD = expected goal difference.

XP = expected points.

BC = big scoring chance.
