Frequently Asked Questions

What is Expected Goals (xG)?

xG estimates the probability a given shot results in a goal, based on historical data from similar shots — it's widely used in modern football analytics to evaluate chance quality independent of whether the shot actually scored.

Is this a real professional xG model?

No — professional xG models (used by clubs and broadcasters) incorporate many more factors including shot type, defensive pressure, assist type, and body part used, trained on large historical datasets. This is a simplified, illustrative version based on distance and angle only.

Why do distance and angle matter so much for xG?

Shots from closer range and a more central, direct angle to goal are statistically far more likely to score than shots from distance or a tight angle near the touchline, which is the core relationship this simplified model captures.
