Pre-match analysis and preview
Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

Where full-quality xG is available, Genoa average 1.04 xG and 1.31 xGA over 5 recent matches; Venezia average 1.54 xG and 2.30 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.
At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places Genoa in position 17 and Venezia in position 20. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Genoa won 1–0 against Venezia. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 0.33 for Genoa and 1.77 for Venezia. Venezia generated the higher xG total. Genoa scored +0.67 goals relative to xG and Venezia scored -1.77 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Genoa registered 7 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 57.1%); Venezia recorded 19 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 26.3%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Home (43.8%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
