Fixtures ranked by highest predicted expected total goals β€” Tuesday 16 April 2024

Our prediction model calculates the expected number of goals each team is likely to score based on historical attack and defence strengths. Fixtures at the top of this list have the highest combined expected goals (xG) β€” making them the best candidates for Over 2.5 and Both Teams to Score markets.

16 fixtures cleared the bar on Tuesday 16 April 2024. The strongest reading belongs to Notts County vs Stockport County at 4.00 in the League Two. The shortlist runs from 4.00 down to 2.52, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

League Two supplies four of the top 10, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.

Our Poisson model estimates each team's expected goals from their attack and defence strengths, then builds a probability for every possible scoreline. The combined expected goals shown here is the sum of both teams' expected goals, derived from their attack and defence strengths. No bookmaker odds are used as an input — the model is independent of the market.
