Lazioโs Ciro Immobile is continuing to showcase his world-class prowess as a top goal-scorer.
The Italian forward currently leads the team in Serie A goals with 13, which should not be much of a surprise at this point in the season. More so, Immobile is inching closer and closer to Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldoโs league-leading 15 goals.
Immobile is once again outperforming his expected goals (xG) figure, which is a model that evaluates goal-scoring chances. With 13 league goals and an 8.68 xG, the Lazio star is outperforming his xG number by a +4.32 figure.
As shown below, this tally for Immobile makes him the league-leader in Serie A play this season.
