Stoke City Fall 1:2 to Swansea Despite Nearly Even xG

Three shots on target for the visitors to two for the hosts — barely a difference at all. But a 3.28-to-1.59 conversion rate isn't something you can hide: that gap, not any real territorial dominance, decided the 1:2 scoreline on expected goals that were almost dead even — 0.63 for Stoke City against 0.61 for Swansea.
