Post-match analysis

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

FC Augsburg and 1. FC Union Berlin drew 1–1. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.82 for FC Augsburg and 1.18 for 1. FC Union Berlin. FC Augsburg generated the higher xG total. FC Augsburg scored -0.82 goals relative to xG and 1. FC Union Berlin scored -0.18 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

FC Augsburg registered 25 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 20.0%); 1. FC Union Berlin recorded 6 shots, with 1 on target (shot accuracy: 16.7%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
