How the numbers for Namibia v Cameroon are calculated
Every figure on this page comes from the steps below – nothing is adjusted by hand.
Expected goals (λ)
Ratings fitted to all competitions results (5 and 6 matches). 1.00 = average attack or defence.
| League avg goals | Attack | Opp. defence | λ (ratings) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Namibia (home) | 1.66 | 0.66 | 0.72 | – |
| Cameroon (away) | 1.38 | 1.09 | 1.18 | – |
λhome = μhome × Atthome × Defaway = 1.66 × 0.66 × 0.72 ≈ –
