The disappointing season of the Giallorossi’s captain is clear even in the expected goals, where he ranks tenth in Serie A.
AS Roma continues to experience highs and lows, but with the arrival of Claudio Ranieri, improvements have been particularly noticeable in their offensive production. In eight matches under the Testaccio coach, the Giallorossi have scored at least three goals four times – something that has only happened once since March, in Juric’s debut against Udinese (3-0). But the number of mistakes made close to the goal is also high. According to ‘AS Roma Data’, among the top ten footballers with the highest difference between actual and expected goals – essentially, the ‘wasted’ goals – Lorenzo Pellegrini is also included: he has no goals and an expected goal (xG) data of 1.8. Opening this ranking is a player owned by the Giallorossi, Tammy Abraham. He has scored 2 goals but with an astounding expected Goals (xG) of 5.3. Following him are Gaetano from Cagliari and Castellanos from Lazio. Among the top ten is also Dusan Vlahovic, with 7 goals and an impressive expected goal (xG) count of 9.4.
