Goal Predictor is a new football tipster service from Steve Hudson. Steve has had a few previous successful services that try to help punters make a profit on football.
Goal Predictor is focused on providing Xg (Expected Goals) tips on the BTTS (Both Teams to Score) and Under/Over 2.5 goal markets.
But what is Xg? Xg has become a more prominent statistic in recent years and you have probably come across it watching football on Sky Sports or watching Match of the Day. It uses varies pieces of football data to suggest how many goals each team should have scored in the match, rather than the actual goals. The benefit of using this statistic to pick out football tips is that in theory you are getting a more accurate representation of how a football match was played than the actual score.
For instance a game may be 0-0, but was there 20 shots on target? Was the woodwork hit 7 times? This is an extreme example but it goes to sure that a 0-0 is not necessarily a “bore draw” and it is not necessarily an indication that the team is poor offensively or indeed excellent defensively. To measure defense there is also the metric XGA (Expected Goals Against). This gives a figure for how many goals a team should have conceeded.
You can get Xg stats for the previous game, or the season to date to give an indication of how many goals a team where expected to score and conceed. You can of course look at actual goals, but Xg is thought to be the more accurate figure as it takes more data in to consideration.
But, who decides what the Xg figure is? A quick google shows that there isn’t a singular Xg figure as each statistical website has there own data model on what the predicted goals are. So its really a case of choosing the most reputable website with what you consider the most accurate data.
Goal Predictor utilises this data, but what I like about Goal Predictor is that they filter the bets with human input. There are ways of giving out purely “AI” tips but as no statistic is ever perfect I really think we are still at the stage where people need to utilise tech to help with their betting rather than the tech will allow you to win on autopilot. AI isn’t (yet) smart enough. Even if it was, the bookmakers would tighten the odds pretty sharpish to destroy an obvious advantage.
