Pre-match analysis and preview

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

Post-match analysis

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

Paris Saint-Germain won 5–1 away to Le Havre. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.88 for Le Havre and 3.00 for Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain generated the higher xG total. Le Havre scored -0.88 goals relative to xG and Paris Saint-Germain scored +2.00 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Le Havre registered 14 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 35.7%); Paris Saint-Germain recorded 15 shots, with 10 on target (shot accuracy: 66.7%). 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 (50.8%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
