Understanding football xG

Expected goals estimate chance quality under a model. They describe shot context, not a guaranteed final score.

01 / Discover

Compare xG with observed goals without treating them as identical measures.

02 / Validate

Check period, competition and provenance before using a statistic.

03 / Decide by market

One isolated xG value does not justify BTTS, Over 2.5 or a straight winner.
