Expected Goals (xG)

It is no question that Stoke City’s attack has raised some eyebrows so far this season, and no surprise as well that the home team arrives to this match with 1.22 expected goals per match in the Championship.

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 1.72 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. Stoke City gets to this event with 1.52 expected goals against, so we will see how their performance reflects just that.

Watford is a team where not everything is working perfectly. The team gets to this match with 0 goals conceded on average, against 0.35 xGA. What kind of defensive performance will we see today?
