Team summary

Colombia has a useful historical shot sample.

In the matches covered by this dashboard, Colombia took 125 shots. xG estimates how many goals a team would usually score from the chances they created. The model estimated those chances were worth about 16.2 goals, and Colombia actually scored 21.

They scored about 4.8 more goals than expected from the chances in this sample. The average shot was worth about 0.130 xG, or roughly a 13% chance of becoming a goal. Match dates in this sample: 2018-06-19 to 2024-07-15.

Takeaway: this profile is useful for understanding Colombia's past chance creation and finishing in the available data. It does not predict how many goals they will score in 2026.

FBref, Understat, and percentile sources help describe club form and source coverage. They do not replace the production xG model trained on StatsBomb open data.

  • - These numbers describe past available data, not projected 2026 World Cup totals.
  • - Historical international/open-data samples and club context are separate layers.
  • - Missing data does not mean a weak team or player.
  • - Source coverage differs by competition, league, and player-name matching.
