Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Celta Vigo and Real Betis drew 0–0. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 0.84 for Celta Vigo and 1.09 for Real Betis. Real Betis generated the higher xG total. Celta Vigo scored -0.84 goals relative to xG and Real Betis scored -1.09 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Celta Vigo registered 12 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); Real Betis recorded 15 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 13.3%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Away (42.2%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
