Matrix is more like IRC or Slack/Discord with a focus on group-chats, while XMPP is more like Signal, WhatsApp or Telegram. XMPP can also do group-chats, but the current clients don't have as much of a focus on it. Otherwise they are pretty similar, but XMPP is overall a much more mature protocol and the software has less bugs and is more performant.
