Post-match analysis

Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.

SV Werder Bremen won 3–2 away to 1. FSV Mainz 05. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.69 for 1. FSV Mainz 05 and 2.56 for SV Werder Bremen. SV Werder Bremen generated the higher xG total. 1. FSV Mainz 05 scored +0.31 goals relative to xG and SV Werder Bremen scored +0.44 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

1. FSV Mainz 05 registered 18 shots, with 8 on target (shot accuracy: 44.4%); SV Werder Bremen recorded 17 shots, with 8 on target (shot accuracy: 47.1%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Home (57.5%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
