Dundee United and Motherwell drew 1–1. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.91 for Dundee United and 1.75 for Motherwell. Dundee United generated the higher xG total. Dundee United scored -0.91 goals relative to xG and Motherwell scored -0.75 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Dundee United registered 24 shots, with 6 on target (shot accuracy: 25.0%); Motherwell recorded 17 shots, with 6 on target (shot accuracy: 35.3%). 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 (52.5%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
