Pre-match analysis and preview

Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

Fulham host Hull City in Premier League. This preview compares historical records dated before the prediction was locked with the model's pre-match probabilities. Probabilities describe estimated outcomes, not guaranteed results.

Across their last 5 recorded league matches, Fulham collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses). Hull City earned 6 points from 5 matches (1 wins, 3 draws and 1 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

At home, Fulham have 1 wins, 1 draws and 3 losses in their last 5 recorded home matches. On the road, Hull City have 1 wins, 1 draws and 1 losses across 3 away matches.

Where full-quality xG is available, Fulham average 1.64 xG and 1.60 xGA over 5 recent matches; Hull City average 1.12 xG and 1.45 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places Fulham in position 20 and Hull City in position 9. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

This analysis is based on available league records and the pre-match snapshot. Missing samples are not estimated; player availability, injuries and tactical claims are not inferred.

Post-match analysis

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

Fulham won 1–0 against Hull City. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.38 for Fulham and 0.16 for Hull City. Fulham generated the higher xG total. Fulham scored -0.38 goals relative to xG and Hull City scored -0.16 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Fulham registered 18 shots, with 6 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); Hull City recorded 5 shots, with 0 on target (shot accuracy: 0.0%). 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 (38.5%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
