Expected goals in this match

What is xG?

Every shot is scored 0–1 by how likely it is to be a goal from that spot — a chance in the middle of the box ≈ 0.4, a long shot from a tight angle ≈ 0.03, a penalty ≈ 0.76. Add them up over a match and that is the xG.

The scoreline can lie: you can win 1-0 on a fluke while creating half the chances. xG shows who was really closer to scoring — and over a season it predicts results better than goals alone.

How is this calculated?

Every number below comes from this match — nothing is made up.

1

Recent form of each side

Bamboutos at homecreates 1.22, concedes 0.78 · 78 matches

UMS de Loum awaycreates 0.92, concedes 0.89 · 66 matches

Home and away form are counted separately — the home-field edge is already baked into these numbers.

Bamboutos attack 1.22 + UMS de Loum defence 0.89 → ÷2 → 1.05

UMS de Loum attack 0.92 + Bamboutos defence 0.78 → ÷2 → 0.85

What the model can't see

It reads only the stats of recent matches. It knows nothing about:

  • injuries & suspensions
  • the matchday lineup
  • motivation — cup, relegation, a title race
  • weather & pitch condition
  • in-game coaching decisions

So 40% does not mean "Bamboutos will win" — it means "on the available stats, this is the most likely result."

Statistical model based on expected goals (xG). For informational purposes only.
