Thought this was a very good (and balanced) explanation of xG from @Soccermatics
"If you're thinking about future performance, xG is a better way of predicting that than the goals you scored.
But... "it is not a good idea to get too obsessed with the xG of the match that has just happened.
"Once you get up to between 3 and 6 games, you DO want to know the xG. Once you get over half a season, real goals become the important thing.
"Goals are reality, xG is a model."
