Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Fenerbahçe won 3–2 against Liverpool. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 1.70 for Fenerbahçe and 1.57 for Liverpool. Fenerbahçe generated the higher xG total. Fenerbahçe scored +1.30 goals relative to xG and Liverpool scored +0.43 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Fenerbahçe registered 17 shots, with 6 on target (shot accuracy: 35.3%); Liverpool recorded 22 shots, with 6 on target (shot accuracy: 27.3%). 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 (52.7%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
