Major League Soccer xG Table 2026

Which sides have got more from their chances than they deserved, and which have got less.

Who the Major League Soccer xG table says is due a correction

CF Montréal have the biggest shortfall in the Major League Soccer: 24 points from chances worth 35.3 xPts, a gap of 11.3. At the other end, Nashville SC have taken 60 points from an xPts figure of 40.3, 19.7 more than the underlying numbers justify.

How these xG numbers are calculated

Expected goals measure the quality of the chances a team creates and concedes, with every shot scored between 0 and 1 by how often shots like it are converted. Expected points come from running each finished match through a Poisson model using both sides' xG, giving a win, draw and loss probability, then awarding three points and one point against those probabilities. Underlying data is supplied by Sportmonks.
