Soccer Metrics

Soccer metrics are data points used to analyze and evaluate a team’s or player's performance. They include statistics like goals scored, assists, passes completed, and possession percentage. Advanced metrics also assess expected goals (xG), which estimates the quality of scoring chances, and defensive actions like tackles and interceptions. These metrics help coaches, analysts, and fans understand the strengths, weaknesses, and overall effectiveness of players and teams beyond just the final score. By quantifying various aspects of play, soccer metrics provide insights that support strategic decisions and performance improvements.
