Leicester Generate 2+ xG in 4 Championship Games Since January — Win Zero of Them
Leicester drew 2-2 with Hull City yesterday despite generating 3.18 xG — the highest xG figure for any team in yesterday's Championship slate — yet this is part of a damning pattern: in 4 Championship matches since January where they generated 2.0+ xG, they have won zero times (0W 4D 0L). Sitting 23rd on 42 points in 44 games despite underlying numbers suggesting a mid-table team, this is one of the most extreme xG conversion failures in the dataset this season.
