Questions

What is expected goals (xG)?

Expected goals scores every shot by the chance it had of being a goal, from 0 to 1, based on where and how it was taken.

What is xGOT?

Post-shot expected goals (xGOT) scores only shots on target, by how hard they were to save once struck. It separates the quality of the chance from the quality of the finish and the save.

How many shots did Mainz 05 and Wolfsburg have?

Mainz 05 had 20 shots (9 on target) for 3.82 xG. Wolfsburg had 7 shots (2 on target) for 0.74 xG.
