2025 NWSL season
14 teams · 182 regular-season matches played.
Kansas City Current lead on points. But Orlando Pride carry the widest gap in the top half between goal difference (+6) and expected goal difference (+1.7°) — running ahead of what the chances were worth by 4.3.
Expected goal difference is modeled. A gap of two or three goals over a half-season is well inside the noise.
