Nordwichlin-St Bidd 1 - 4 Faket Albion

Expected Goals (xG) Analysis

The Gazzetta chance-quality estimate put Faket Albion at 3.53 xG and Nordwichlin-St Bidd at 0.36. Four goals from 3.53 xG is a modest return above expectation; one goal from 0.36 xG is a substantial over-performance, though the visitors’ 12 shots on target from 17 attempts made their attacking advantage plain without needing much statistical assistance. Nordwichlin-St Bidd had just one shot, which found the target and became Philippe Robert’s late goal. Equal possession and better pass accuracy for the hosts could not compensate for the gulf in volume and chance quality: Faket Albion repeatedly reached dangerous positions, while Nordwichlin-St Bidd had little opportunity to build an attack.

The scoreline was not a close reflection of the match’s balance. Faket Albion led 2-0 by half-time and, after Philippe Robert pulled one back in the 83rd minute, answered twice before the final whistle. That late burst turned a comfortable win into a four-goal return and left Nordwichlin-St Bidd with a goal that offered brief encouragement but no real change in the outcome. The visitors’ 11 tackles, against the hosts’ four, also suggest a side able to win the ball and keep the pressure moving; a useful arrangement when one has already brought 17 shots to the day.
