Pre-match analysis and preview

Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

Atlético Madrid host Deportivo La Coruña in LaLiga. This preview compares historical records dated before the prediction was locked with the model's pre-match probabilities. Probabilities describe estimated outcomes, not guaranteed results.

Across their last 5 recorded league matches, Atlético Madrid collected 15 points (5 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses). Deportivo La Coruña earned 3 points from 5 matches (0 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

At home, Atlético Madrid have 4 wins, 1 draws and 0 losses in their last 5 recorded home matches. On the road, Deportivo La Coruña have 1 wins, 2 draws and 1 losses across 4 away matches.

Where full-quality xG is available, Atlético Madrid average 2.39 xG and 0.53 xGA over 5 recent matches; Deportivo La Coruña average 1.03 xG and 0.77 xGA over 3 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places Atlético Madrid in position 2 and Deportivo La Coruña in position 8. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

This analysis is based on available league records and the pre-match snapshot. Missing samples are not estimated; player availability, injuries and tactical claims are not inferred.

Post-match analysis

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

Atlético Madrid won 1–0 against Deportivo La Coruña. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.36 for Atlético Madrid and 1.95 for Deportivo La Coruña. Deportivo La Coruña generated the higher xG total. Atlético Madrid scored -0.36 goals relative to xG and Deportivo La Coruña scored -1.95 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Atlético Madrid registered 20 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 20.0%); Deportivo La Coruña recorded 15 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%). 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 (62.0%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
