Monza won 4–0 against Cagliari. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 2.06 for Monza and 2.37 for Cagliari. Cagliari generated the higher xG total. Monza scored +1.94 goals relative to xG and Cagliari scored -2.37 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Monza registered 14 shots, with 6 on target (shot accuracy: 42.9%); Cagliari recorded 16 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 31.2%). 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 (48.6%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
