Post-match analysis

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

FC Bayern München and Borussia Dortmund drew 2–2. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 4.18 for FC Bayern München and 0.63 for Borussia Dortmund. FC Bayern München generated the higher xG total. FC Bayern München scored -2.18 goals relative to xG and Borussia Dortmund scored +1.37 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

FC Bayern München registered 23 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 21.7%); Borussia Dortmund recorded 12 shots, with 6 on target (shot accuracy: 50.0%). 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 (77.7%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
