Expected Goals (xG)

Only once the match ends can we come up with our conclusions, but before it starts we can definitely look at the away team’s 1.71 expected goals on average per match and take that into account before placing a bet.

Expected Goals Against (xGA)

A low xGA is a good measure of a team’s defensive capabilities, since it means that it gives the opposing team very little goal scoring chances throughout a match. Excelsior gets to this event with 2.23 expected goals against, so we will see how their performance reflects just that.

NEC is a team where not everything is working perfectly. The team gets to this match with 1.05 goals conceded on average, against 1.81 xGA. What kind of defensive performance will we see today?
