Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Leeds United won 1–0 against Tottenham Hotspur. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 2.02 for Leeds United and 0.77 for Tottenham Hotspur. Leeds United generated the higher xG total. Leeds United scored -1.02 goals relative to xG and Tottenham Hotspur scored -0.77 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Leeds United registered 16 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 25.0%); Tottenham Hotspur recorded 7 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 57.1%). 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 (38.4%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
