Generation

Shot quality metrics measure how likely a shot is to result in a goal based on factors like distance, angle, traffic, and shot type—not just whether it went in. The most common is Expected Goals (xG), which assigns each shot a probability between 0 and 1 based on historical data from thousands of similar shots. These metrics help separate shooting skill and luck from shot creation, so we can better evaluate whether a team is generating dangerous chances or just taking lots of low-quality shots from bad positions. Over time, shot quality metrics tend to predict future results better than simple shot counts or even current goal totals.
