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.

Model probabilities, not odds. For information only.

How is this calculated?

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

1

Recent form of each side

Valencia U19 at homecreates 1.17, concedes 2.00 · 6 matches

Ajax U19 awaycreates 2.65, concedes 1.95 · 20 matches

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

2

Expected goals for this match

Valencia U19 attack 1.17 + Ajax U19 defence 1.95 → ÷2 → 1.56

Ajax U19 attack 2.65 + Valencia U19 defence 2.00 → ÷2 → 2.33

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

The answer to "why 55%?"

Ajax U19 at 55% 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 55% does not mean "Ajax U19 will win" — it means "on the available stats, this is the most likely result."
