Implementing the Expected Goal (xG) Model to Predict Scores in Soccer
Matches

xG model, Soccer match, Distance, Predict scores.

Football is a sport that has the most fans in the world. What makes sebak patterns so popular are their uncertain and
unpredictable results. There are many factors that affect the outcome of a football match, including strategy, skill, and even luck.
Therefore, guessing the results of a soccer match is an interesting problem. All shots are grouped into sections on the playing
field and theoretical goal scores are applied to each area. The factors analyzed are: distance of shot from goal and angle of shot in
relation to goal. When calculating xG, it is recommended that the distance and angle of the shot are important. The combination
of the two xG factors is better calculated than each variable only. In addition, this xG check has been able to relatively accurately
identify the mid-table teams that score and concede goals.
