3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
The most famous stat, yet many teams want lower possession by design (counter-attackers). “65% possession and a loss” isn't rare. Read it with xG to tell “forced to hold it” from “pushing forward.”
On broadcasts you'll see“Possession 68–32, but the away side had more shots. The plan is to counter.”
