Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Atalanta won 3–1 against Venezia. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 2.19 for Atalanta and 2.48 for Venezia. Venezia generated the higher xG total. Atalanta scored +0.81 goals relative to xG and Venezia scored -1.48 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Atalanta registered 22 shots, with 11 on target (shot accuracy: 50.0%); Venezia recorded 19 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 21.1%). 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 (42.3%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
