The Stats Perform Approach to Integrity
Stats Perform’s role is to work with rights holders, betting operators and sports integrity stakeholders discreetly and collaboratively to protect their sports against sources of corruption.
We’ve developed a unique approach to managing match-fixing risk that includes betting market monitoring, global intelligence gathering, and performance analysis as a combined service.
We believe this holistic approach is the most balanced and effective way of tackling the integrity issues that confront all levels of sport.

Real-Time Insights, Trained on World-Leading Data
With a live Opta database comprising millions of on-ball events each season, from hundreds of men’s and women’s leagues around the world, we possess the ideal foundation to train advanced metrics which help explain the underlying stories of the game.
Our models take into account multiple factors when attributing values to events, including:
- The field location – including the distance and angle of a key event in relation to the opposition goal.
- Possession context – what were the previous actions in a passage of play?
- Pressure and clarity – how many players are between the ball and the opponent’s goal when actions occur?
- Separating men’s and women’s football – we provide dedicated a xG model for the women’s game.

It is a metric at the heart of football’s fiercest culture war, pitting traditionalists against stat-savvy data experts.
