Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Newcastle take 11.4 shots per game and put 4.4 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.

Question 5

Where do these SOT stats come from?

Accepted Answer

All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz — 10 Newcastle fixtures in the active window for 2026/2027. Player odds come from Bet365 player markets when priced.

Question 6

How is conversion (Goals/SOT) useful?

Accepted Answer

Newcastle are currently converting 30% 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.
