Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Bournemouth won 3–0 against Milan. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 3.11 for Bournemouth and 0.11 for Milan. Bournemouth generated the higher xG total. Bournemouth scored -0.11 goals relative to xG and Milan scored -0.11 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Bournemouth registered 20 shots, with 7 on target (shot accuracy: 35.0%); Milan recorded 3 shots, with 0 on target (shot accuracy: 0.0%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Home (39.4%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
