In the first eleven matchdays of Serie A, Inter emerges as the team with the highest Expected Goals figure in the entire league. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Nerazzurri have accumulated 29 xG, the best result among the twenty teams in the tournament, translating it almost perfectly into actual goals: 28 goals scored.
The minimal margin between expected goals and goals scored indicates consistent offensive precision, with shots on target reaching 76, an absolute record in the category. The alignment between statistical data and on-field reality describes a team capable of creating and converting chances consistently, at least in the league. In Europe, Gazzetta points out, the performance follows a slightly different trend.
The performance against Como last Sunday is cited as an example of the squad’s confidence and quality: Chivu‘s team dominates the field and opponents with full command, showing a composure in front of goal that clearly distinguishes them in the league landscape.
Behind Inter in the xG ranking is Roma, with 26.3, but with a goal tally that far exceeds statistical expectations: the Giallorossi have scored 31 goals, far surpassing their expected goals figure. In third place is Frosinone with 20.3 xG and 24 goals scored, a result consistent with the offensive identity that Massimiliano Alvini‘s team has shown throughout the season.
