Expected Goals (xG)Live

the quality of a chance

Controls

Expected goals rates every shot by the probability an average player would score from that spot, learned from thousands of historical shots. The two biggest drivers are distance and angle to goal — a tap-in near the six-yard box is worth 0.8 xG, a long-range effort barely 0.03. Summing xG over a match reveals who truly deserved to win, beyond the scoreline. Click to place a shot.

Governing equation

xG = \frac{1}{1 + e ^{- (0.6 - 0.11 \cdot 30.0 + 0.06 \cdot 23.5)}} = 0.22

Reading this result: Long range dominates here: distance shrinks xG faster than anything else, so this is a low-probability effort.
