Defensive Disruptions

GIO’s Core Intelligence Metrics:

Defensive Disruptions

What it means: Captures how effectively teams break up opponent play — tackles, interceptions, recoveries, clearances.

Data source: Match stats from federations (duel success, blocked shots, turnovers won).

How GIO* uses it: Teams that consistently disrupt opponents can outperform their raw xGA, making upsets or stalemates more likely.
