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

Cambuur U21 at homecreates 2.26, concedes 1.17 · 42 matches

NAC U21 awaycreates 1.69, concedes 2.42 · 26 matches

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

2

Expected goals for this match

Cambuur U21 attack 2.26 + NAC U21 defence 2.42 → ÷2 → 2.34

NAC U21 attack 1.69 + Cambuur U21 defence 1.17 → ÷2 → 1.43

Each side's attack is blended with the other's defence, then averaged.

3

Chance of every scoreline

From those two numbers a Poisson distribution gives the probability of each exact score — the grid shown above.

4

Cambuur U21 at 57% is simply the biggest of the three — that is the pick.

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 57% does not mean "Cambuur U21 will win" — it means "on the available stats, this is the most likely result."
