Stats Highlighting

Stats highlighting is designed to help your eyes do less work. Instead of manually comparing numbers, the scanner uses subtle visual cues to indicate when one team is clearly outperforming the other in a specific metric.

In-play statistics

Live match stats are highlighted only when both conditions are met: the value is high in absolute terms and significantly higher than the opponent’s.

Orange highlight
  • Stat value is at least 3
  • At least 2.6× higher than the opponent
Red highlight
  • Stat value is at least 4
  • At least 3.6× higher than the opponent

Momentum

The momentum highlight marks pressure the scoreboard doesn't reflect. It fires on exactly the same conditions as the insight line inside the momentum tooltip (for example, "trailing, but 71% momentum last 10'") — so the explanation for a highlighted cell is always one hover away.

Pink highlight

Shown on the value of the team holding the pressure edge, when either:

  • That team is trailing but holds at least 60% of the combined momentum over the last 10 minutes, or
  • The match is level and that team holds at least 65% of the recent momentum

On top of the 10-minute window, the pressure must still be live right now: the team's current momentum reading has to be at least 50 and keep the same share against the opponent. A spell that already faded stops being highlighted, even if the window average is still high.

The highlight only appears in live matches from the 15th minute onwards, once enough momentum readings exist in the 10-minute window. A leader dominating, or a balanced game, is normal and stays unhighlighted — when the cell lights up, the pitch and the scoreline disagree.

xG

xG highlights help identify quality chances rather than volume alone.

Bold value
  • xG of at least 0.8
  • Higher than the opponent’s xG
Green highlight
  • xG of at least 1.0
  • At least 5× higher than the opponent

Pre-match averages

Pre-match averages give context before kickoff and are highlighted when one team’s long-term numbers clearly exceed the other’s.

Bold value
  • Average of at least 0.8
  • Higher than the opponent’s average
Green highlight
  • Average of at least 1.0
  • At least 5× higher than the opponent

Pre-match percentages

Green highlight

Percentage value above 70%.

Red highlight

Percentage value below 40%.
