TonyBet Virslīga statistics after 25% of the season with no comments
Matchday 9 ended just a few days ago, meaning 25% of the season has been played. It is a great time to analyze and summarize statistics for this time. So let's go!
I have to add a little thing. I will not go into depth about the stats. I did see some exciting trends. First, I will go through some team stats, then individual players and goalkeepers.
P.S. I use more per 90 minutes because I like that stat more than per game.
TEAM Stats (Overall).
xP (Expected points)
According to expected points, FK Tukums 2000/Telms and BFC Daugavpils should have had fewer points - by a much, in this case, 4.3. While FK Metta should have had 10 points according to xP, not like they have now - seven.
xG (Expected goals)
Goals
xG and Goals difference
Like last year with FK Auda, the Simo Valakari side is underperforming, according to xG. Riga FC scored 15 goals, but according to xG, they should have scored around 21-22 goals.
We have a lot of underperforming teams according to xG, but exceeding the xG is RFS, but there is a reason. Not converted penalty kicks - Petr Mareš super goals from like 30 metres. All those things add up and make this result.

xG and Goals against difference
The stats show one thing - how giant was BFC Daugavpil's goalkeeper and defence in the first nine games? xG against 14, but conceded goals just 5. This might indicate they will return to earth, but props to Daugavpils.
