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

Sporting Gagnoa at home — creates 1.15, concedes 1.02 · 59 matches

Racing d'Abidjan away — creates 1.18, concedes 1.08 · 89 matches

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

2

Expected goals for this match

Sporting Gagnoa attack 1.15 + Racing d'Abidjan defence 1.08 → ÷2 → 1.11

Racing d'Abidjan attack 1.18 + Sporting Gagnoa defence 1.02 → ÷2 → 1.10

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

3

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 36% does not mean "Sporting Gagnoa will win" — it means "on the available stats, this is the most likely result."
