How is the SOT matchup read calculated?

SOT matchup blends our attackers' on-target rate (50%) with the opposition's SOT conceded per game (50%). The more SOT the opponent typically concedes, the more on-target volume our attackers should produce.

What's the difference between shots and shots on target?

Argentina take 14.9 shots per game and put 5.9 on target. Players who shoot speculatively often have a low SOT-per-shot ratio; the context panel surfaces the shots/g funnel so you can see the conversion rate.

Where do these SOT stats come from?

All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz — 10 Argentina fixtures in the active window for 2025. Player odds come from Bet365 player markets when priced.

How is conversion (Goals/SOT) useful?

Argentina are currently converting 39% of their shots on target into goals. A high conversion rate means finishing well; a low one means SOT volume but not yet goals. Pair this with the shots/g funnel to read how the goals number is built.
