Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Queens Park Rangers and Burnley drew 1–1. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 1.73 for Queens Park Rangers and 0.16 for Burnley. Queens Park Rangers generated the higher xG total. Queens Park Rangers scored -0.73 goals relative to xG and Burnley scored +0.84 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Queens Park Rangers registered 20 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 25.0%); Burnley recorded 4 shots, with 1 on target (shot accuracy: 25.0%). 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 (60.5%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
