The clearest recorded pattern is: Brighton's last-five goals scored average is below their season average. A second useful context is: Brighton's shot volume and the opposing shot-allowance context sit above their competition baselines. Limitation: Recorded xG is incomplete, so xG context is omitted where unavailable.
