Manchester City won 3–2 away to RB Leipzig. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 0.87 for RB Leipzig and 2.23 for Manchester City. Manchester City generated the higher xG total. RB Leipzig scored +1.13 goals relative to xG and Manchester City scored +0.77 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

RB Leipzig registered 14 shots, with 6 on target (shot accuracy: 42.9%); Manchester City recorded 12 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 41.7%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Home (45.4%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
