What the record shows

The clearest recorded pattern is: Girona's last-five goals scored average is above their season average. A second useful context is: Espanyol'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.
