Bay FC

How they play

The underlying numbers line up with the record: Bay FC have allowed chances worth 1.79 a match and created 1.32. That is a measurable gap rather than a run of luck — which also makes it the kind that can be closed. With finishing closer to the quality of the chances, the results would already look different.

Finishing1.07 goals / match vs 1.32 xG

Bay FC are creating more than they have converted so far — the chances are there, and finishing tends to catch up with chance quality over time. xG (expected goals) is how many an average team would score from the same chances.

Defence1.57 conceded / match vs 1.79 xGA

Bay FC are conceding less than the chances allowed — the keeper is earning points. xGA is the same idea for chances given up.
