Post-match analysis

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

Borussia Dortmund won 2–1 against Real Betis. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 2.58 for Borussia Dortmund and 0.82 for Real Betis. Borussia Dortmund generated the higher xG total. Borussia Dortmund scored -0.58 goals relative to xG and Real Betis scored +0.18 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Borussia Dortmund registered 15 shots, with 6 on target (shot accuracy: 40.0%); Real Betis recorded 11 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 36.4%). 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 (53.2%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
