xG Stat explains the pattern
Live score apps are built for speed. xG Stat is built for context: tactical structure, advanced metrics, and insight you can act on.
What xG Stat adds beyond SofaScore
SofaScore helps you follow matches. xG Stat helps you understand them.
Analytics, not only ratings
SofaScore gives a proprietary match rating. xG Stat shows the underlying evidence with xG, xA, xT, and role-specific performance context.
Tactical depth
Pass networks, shape analysis, and territory control visuals help explain how teams create or concede chances over 90 minutes.
Match reports
Every match gets an xG timeline, shot map and pass network.
Better comparison workflow
Radar charts, percentile rankings, and custom scatter comparisons for side-by-side analysis, not only headline stat checks.
