Nice won 2–0 away to Angers. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 0.94 for Angers and 1.96 for Nice. Nice generated the higher xG total. Angers scored -0.94 goals relative to xG and Nice scored +0.04 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Angers registered 12 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); Nice recorded 16 shots, with 8 on target (shot accuracy: 50.0%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Away (39.8%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
