Once Ghana have enough completed CAF World Cup Qualifiers matches with expected goals (xG) data, per-game averages and player leaders will publish here. The match-by-match table above updates after every game.
Use the match-by-match table above to compare expected goals (xG) game by game, with home and away filters ahead of Ghana vs Somalia on 11.11.2026.
Use the Home / Away filter above the data table to compare Ghana's expected goals (xG) totals and per-game averages split by venue across 2026.
Ghana have taken 7.9 points more than their chances warranted over 10 games: +8.2 goals against their xG, and +3.3 on the goals their xGA expected them to concede. Finishing and goalkeeping at that level rarely hold, so the table is the optimistic reading of this side.
