FT: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 0 AFC BOURNEMOUTH. Match thread

Short answer is..mostly yes.
Depending on the model being used xG takes into account shot location, which foot / header, where the preceding pass was from and the best ones also if under defensive pressure and position of defenders / keeper.

Even with all of those factors though that shot wouldn't have generated much xG, because the vast majority of time, those kind of shots miss or are saved

So in reality it’s pointless?
