Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
RC Strasbourg won 1–0 against Paris Saint-Germain. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 1.47 for RC Strasbourg and 2.69 for Paris Saint-Germain. Paris Saint-Germain generated the higher xG total. RC Strasbourg scored -0.47 goals relative to xG and Paris Saint-Germain scored -2.69 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
RC Strasbourg registered 17 shots, with 8 on target (shot accuracy: 47.1%); Paris Saint-Germain recorded 18 shots, with 7 on target (shot accuracy: 38.9%). 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 (54.5%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
