Inter vs Fiorentina

· Final

Pre-match analysis and preview

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

Inter host Fiorentina in Serie A. 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, Inter collected 13 points (4 wins, 1 draws and 0 losses). Fiorentina earned 4 points from 5 matches (1 wins, 1 draws and 3 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

At home, Inter have 4 wins, 1 draws and 0 losses in their last 5 recorded home matches. On the road, Fiorentina have 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses across 5 away matches.

Where full-quality xG is available, Inter average 3.06 xG and 1.26 xGA over 5 recent matches; Fiorentina average 1.87 xG and 1.12 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places Inter in position 1 and Fiorentina in position 18. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

The database contains 5 earlier head-to-head meetings in this competition, shown below. Historical meetings provide context, not certainty.

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.

Inter won 2–1 against Fiorentina. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 2.90 for Inter and 0.24 for Fiorentina. Inter generated the higher xG total. Inter scored -0.90 goals relative to xG and Fiorentina scored +0.76 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Inter registered 33 shots, with 11 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); Fiorentina recorded 7 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 28.6%). 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 (72.8%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
