Goals against xG

xG is the provider's shot-quality model, not ours; we publish it because it is the same measure across every match here. One matchday is far too small to call anyone lucky — this is a record of what happened, not a verdict.

Club	Opponent	Goals	xG	Goals − xG	Conceded	xG faced	Saved against xG
Lille	PSG	2	1.09	+0.91	2	1.29	-0.71
PSG	Lille	2	1.29	+0.71	2	1.09	-0.91
Strasbourg	Lens	2	1.66	+0.34	1	2.89	+1.89
Paris FC	Nice	3	2.74	+0.26	0	0.57	+0.57
Nice	Paris FC	0	0.57	-0.57	3	2.74	-0.26
Lens	Strasbourg	1	2.89	-1.89	2	1.66	-0.34

Lille scored 0.91 goals more than the model expected of their chances; Lens scored 1.89 fewer. The last column is the same subtraction at the other end: how many goals a club conceded against the xG of the shots it faced.

One column we removed. The feed also carries a field called “goals prevented”, which looks like a goalkeeping measure. In all 9 matches of this round it is identical for both clubs (Lille–PSG +0.18, Strasbourg–Lens -0.06, Paris FC–Nice -0.45, and so on), so it cannot be a per-club number and we do not publish it rather than guess at what it means.

Scorers and assists

8 of the 30 goals have an assist recorded against them. Assists come from the full match archive where it has arrived (3 matches) and from the live event feed otherwise, which records fewer of them — so this is a floor, not a count.

Player	Club	Goals	Assists
Gessime Yassine	Strasbourg	2	0
Vitinha	PSG	1	1
Dilane Bakwa	Lille	1	0

Where these numbers come from

Our own database, built from the same feed every match here uses. Team figures for 3 of 9 matches, goals and cards by minute for all 9, player-level detail for 3. Crowds and referees are as published for the 0 matches that carry them . Nothing on this page is a projection.

What is missing, stated plainly. the event feed is missing 28 of the 30 goals, so goal minutes, penalties and the scorer table are floors; 6 of the 9 matches (Lyon–Le Havre, Lorient–Troyes, Brest–Toulouse, Auxerre–Angers, Rennes–Le Mans, Monaco–Marseille) have team figures but no player-level detail yet — the archive feed delivers those a day later, so player ratings below cover 3 matches, not 9; attendance is published for 0 of 9 matches, so there is no average to give; the 2025/26 xG baseline is measured on 304 of 308 matches.

The rest of the season on the same data: all 18 clubs, their matches and their players · the free season packs.
