Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Hull City and Ipswich Town drew 2–2. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 0.68 for Hull City and 1.02 for Ipswich Town. Ipswich Town generated the higher xG total. Hull City scored +1.32 goals relative to xG and Ipswich Town scored +0.98 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Hull City registered 9 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); Ipswich Town recorded 15 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 20.0%). 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 (41.0%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
