Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Wolverhampton won 2–1 away to Bristol City. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 0.69 for Bristol City and 2.21 for Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton generated the higher xG total. Bristol City scored +0.31 goals relative to xG and Wolverhampton scored -0.21 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Bristol City registered 5 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 60.0%); Wolverhampton recorded 17 shots, with 8 on target (shot accuracy: 47.1%). 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 (35.6%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
