Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Expected Goals
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Huge goal!
Ice-cold and just what the doctor ordered in Elversberg! Following a short corner, Poręba slips in Zimmerschied, who lays it off for Conté to slam past Schenk from close range. As things stand, they're going up!

Party atmosphere
As quite a lot of confetti from the away end has landed in the penalty area of Preußen goalkeeper Schenk, kick-off is delayed by a few moments.
Second chance for Elversberg
Although Elversberg lost 3-1 in Düsseldorf on the last matchday, Vincent Wanger's side go into the final day of the season in the best position of all promotion contenders. Crucially, their goal difference of +22 is by far the best among the three candidates for the second automatic promotion spot (Hannover +16, Paderborn +12). A home win against Münster should be enough to seal promotion for Elversberg, and only a huge win for Hannover could threaten that.
