Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Getafe and Rayo Vallecano drew 1–1. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 0.63 for Getafe and 2.14 for Rayo Vallecano. Rayo Vallecano generated the higher xG total. Getafe scored +0.37 goals relative to xG and Rayo Vallecano scored -1.14 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Getafe registered 12 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); Rayo Vallecano recorded 21 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 23.8%). 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 (38.3%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
