How the numbers for Niger Tornadoes v Enugu Rangers are calculated
Every figure on this page comes from the steps below – nothing is adjusted by hand.
Expected goals (λ)
Ratings fitted to league results (21 and 19 matches). 1.00 = average attack or defence.
| League avg goals | Attack | Opp. defence | λ (ratings) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Niger Tornadoes (home) | 1.62 | 0.74 | 0.82 | 0.98 |
| Enugu Rangers (away) | 0.74 | 1.18 | 0.76 | 0.66 |
λhome = μhome × Atthome × Defaway = 1.62 × 0.74 × 0.82 ≈ 0.98
| Total-goals source | Estimate | Weight |
