Post-match analysis

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

Fortuna Sittard and SC Telstar drew 2–2. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.87 for Fortuna Sittard and 0.79 for SC Telstar. Fortuna Sittard generated the higher xG total. Fortuna Sittard scored +0.13 goals relative to xG and SC Telstar scored +1.21 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Fortuna Sittard registered 10 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 40.0%); SC Telstar recorded 14 shots, with 8 on target (shot accuracy: 57.1%). 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 (43.3%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
