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

Vihiga United FC at home — creates 0.71, concedes 1.18 · 49 matches

Zoo Kericho away — creates 0.89, concedes 1.91 · 54 matches

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

2

Vihiga United FC attack 0.71 + Zoo Kericho defence 1.91 → ÷2 → 1.31

Zoo Kericho attack 0.89 + Vihiga United FC defence 1.18 → ÷2 → 1.03

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 43% does not mean "Vihiga United FC 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.

Probable lineups not yet announced

Starting lineups are usually confirmed ~1 hour before kickoff
