Statistics Gent vs Cercle Brugge

0.3 Expected goals (xG) stat-tooltip-icon Expected goals xG - measures the quality of a scoring chance and the probability of it becoming a goal. It's calculated from factors like shot location, angle, distance, assist type, and defensive pressure. Each shot gets a value from 0 to 1; a team's total xG is the sum of all its shots. A penalty is usually worth ~0.79–0.80. Higher xG = better chances, regardless of whether goals were actually scored. 2.49

0.53 Expected assists (xA) stat-tooltip-icon Expected assists (xA) - measures the likelihood that a completed pass will become an assist for a goal. It evaluates the quality of the pass based on factors like its placement, trajectory, speed, the receiver's position, defensive pressure, and the overall attacking context. Each key pass receives a value between 0 and 1; a player's or team's total xA is the sum of these values. Higher xA indicates better chance creation, even if the subsequent shot is missed or saved. 2.35

1.7 xGOT faced stat-tooltip-icon xGOT faced - total number of goals a goalkeeper would be expected to concede based on the volume and quality of on-target shots faced. Each shot's quality is assessed using post-shot factors: placement, goalkeeper positioning, shot speed, etc. xGOT Faced for a team equals the opposing team's total xGOT from shots on target. It serves as the benchmark for calculating Goals Prevented. 0.05
0.7 Goals prevented stat-tooltip-icon Goals prevented - measures how many goals a goalkeeper saved compared to expectation. It is calculated as the difference between xGOT Faced (the total post-shot expected goals of all on-target shots faced) and the actual number of goals conceded (excluding own goals). A higher positive value indicates the goalkeeper performed above average, preventing more goals than expected from the quality of shots faced. A negative value means more goals were conceded than the shots "deserved. 0.05
