How good the shooting opportunities a team creates are, usually measured by average xG per shot. A team taking loads of shots from bad positions has low chance quality. A team taking fewer shots but from good positions has high chance quality. Guardiola teams typically have excellent chance quality because they work the ball into good areas rather than shooting from distance.
Liverpool's front three in their peak years had excellent chance quality. They weren't just shooting a lot - they were getting into positions where the xG per shot was consistently high, meaning the chances were actually good ones.
