NoFluffPicks Stats metric glossary

Short definitions of metrics used on public NoFluffPicks Stats pages.

BTTS— Both teams scored: BTTS shows how often both sides scored in the analysed match sample. We use it as historical goal context, not as a public betting pick.
Over 0.5— At least one goal in the match: Over 0.5 is met when a match has at least one goal. In league or team statistics it means the share of matches with that outcome.
Over 1.5— At least two goals in the match: Over 1.5 shows how often matches finished with two or more goals. It is a basic signal for the goal tempo of a league, team or match profile.
Over 2.5— At least three goals in the match: Over 2.5 is one of the most common goal lines. In NoFluffPicks Stats it shows the share of completed matches with three or more total goals.
Over 3.5— At least four goals in the match: Over 3.5 describes clearly high-scoring matches. It helps separate very open leagues and teams from those that only clear lower goal lines.
Over 4.5— At least five goals in the match: Over 4.5 covers very open matches. We use it mainly as extra context because the sample is usually smaller than for 1.5 or 2.5 lines.
Under 1.5— No more than one goal in the match: Under 1.5 shows the share of very low-scoring matches. A high value suggests a league or team with limited goal volume.
Under 2.5— No more than two goals in the match: Under 2.5 is the reverse of the popular Over 2.5 line. It helps judge whether past matches usually stayed low or medium scoring.
xG— Expected goals: xG estimates the quality of scoring chances, not the final score. For example, xG 1.40 means the team could expect roughly one to two goals from chance quality.
xGA— Expected goals against: xGA shows the quality of chances a team allowed opponents to create. Lower xGA usually points to a tighter defence, even if one result was unlucky.
xPts— Expected points: xPts are points estimated from chance quality, usually from the xG distribution. They do not replace the real table, but help show whether results match performance.
PPG— Points per game: PPG is total points divided by matches played. It makes teams easier to compare when they have played a different number of matches.
W-D-L— Wins, draws, losses: W-D-L is the basic result record. It corresponds to Z-R-P in Polish and keeps the same order: wins, draws and losses.
Form— Recent team results: Form shows the latest result context, usually the last five matches. We treat it as historical information, not as a ready prediction for the next match.
Form table— Ranking based on recent matches: The form table compares teams only by recent games, usually the last five. It can look different from the normal league table.
Clean sheet— No goal conceded: A clean sheet means a match without conceding a goal. In team statistics it shows how often the defence finishes a match without an opponent goal.
Failed to score— No goal scored: Failed to score means the team did not score in a completed match. A high percentage can point to attacking problems.
Goals scored / match— Average goals scored: This metric shows how many goals a team scores on average per match. It is calculated from completed matches, so it should be read together with sample size.
Goals conceded / match— Average goals conceded: Shows how many goals a team concedes on average per match. A lower value usually indicates a more stable defence.
Average goals / match— Total average goals: Average goals per match describes the goal tempo of a league, team or match sample. It is total goals divided by completed matches.
Goal difference— Goals scored minus goals conceded: Goal difference gives a quick view of team balance. A positive value means the team scores more than it concedes.
Home wins— Home-team wins: The share of home wins shows how strong home advantage is in a league or match sample.
Draws— Drawn matches: The draw percentage shows how often matches finish without a winner. It helps describe league balance and result profile.
Away wins— Away-team wins: The share of away wins shows how often visiting teams win. Together with home wins it describes the result structure of a league.
H2H— Head-to-head matches: H2H is the match history between specific teams. It is context that should be read together with current form and season statistics.
HT/FT— Half-time and full-time result: HT/FT describes the match scenario from half-time to full-time. For example, X/1 means draw at half-time and home win after 90 minutes.
First-half goals— Goals before half-time: This metric shows how often and how many goals are scored in the first half. It helps judge whether a team or league starts matches actively.
Second-half goals— Goals after half-time: Shows the goal tempo after the break. It is useful when a team often decides matches late.
Goal before half-time— Match with a first-half goal: This indicator shows in how many matches at least one goal was scored before half-time. It is a simple view of the first 45 minutes.
Goals by minute— Goal distribution by time segment: Shows in which match periods a team most often scores or concedes. We use ranges such as 0-15, 16-30, 31-45 and later.
Shots / match— Average number of shots: Shots per match show attacking activity, but not chance quality by themselves. They are best read with xG and shots on target.
Shots on target / match— Average shots on target: Shots on target narrow attacking activity to attempts that force a save or result in a goal.
Corners / match— Average corner kicks: Corners describe territorial pressure and how often attacks end with the ball cleared behind the goal line. They are not the same as chance quality.
Cards / match— Average cards: Cards per match describe discipline and match intensity. A high value may come from playing style, league profile or refereeing.
League table— Season standings: The league table shows real points, record and position in the season. It is the result of completed matches, not a model assessment.
Team rankings— Metric leaderboards: Rankings show the strongest or weakest teams in specific categories such as attack, defence, BTTS, Over 2.5, clean sheets, corners and cards.
Attack leader— Team with the highest goal average: The attack leader is the team scoring the most goals per match in a league or ranking.
Best defence— Team conceding the fewest goals: The best defence is the team with the lowest goals conceded per match. It is worth comparing with xGA when available.
1X2 odds— Odds for home win, draw and away win: 1X2 means the three basic match outcomes: home win, draw or away win. We show odds as market information, not as a public reveal of a pick.
Percentage chances— Outcome probability: Percentage chances describe a probability estimate. Before kickoff we hide selected model chances publicly when they could reveal the pick.
Pick scoring— Strength rating of a pick: Pick scoring is an internal quality rating of the betting signal in the NoFluffPicks app. The public stats site does not reveal it before the match.
Value— Value versus the odds: Value is the difference between our probability estimate and bookmaker odds. Positive value can point to a long-term edge, but it does not guarantee a single-match result.
Confidence— Signal confidence level: Confidence describes how strongly the model supports a direction. On public pre-match pages we do not show it, so the private pick is not exposed.
Historical statistic— Data from past matches: Describes completed matches: goals, results, form, BTTS, Over/Under and other measurable events. It is not a private model pick.
Model prediction— Private NoFluffPicks betting signal: A model prediction is an assessment of a future event. On the public site we show statistical context before the match; full picks and reasoning are in the app.
