Roma vs Genoa

· Final

Pre-match analysis and preview

Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

Roma host Genoa in Serie A. This preview compares historical records dated before the prediction was locked with the model's pre-match probabilities. Probabilities describe estimated outcomes, not guaranteed results.

Across their last 5 recorded league matches, Roma collected 11 points (3 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Genoa earned 4 points from 5 matches (1 wins, 1 draws and 3 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

At home, Roma have 4 wins, 1 draws and 0 losses in their last 5 recorded home matches. On the road, Genoa have 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses across 5 away matches.

Where full-quality xG is available, Roma average 2.17 xG and 1.31 xGA over 5 recent matches; Genoa average 1.03 xG and 1.37 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places Roma in position 3 and Genoa in position 17. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

The database contains 5 earlier head-to-head meetings in this competition, shown below. Historical meetings provide context, not certainty.

This analysis is based on available league records and the pre-match snapshot. Missing samples are not estimated; player availability, injuries and tactical claims are not inferred.

Post-match analysis

Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.

Roma won 2–0 against Genoa. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.33 for Roma and 0.47 for Genoa. Roma generated the higher xG total. Roma scored +0.67 goals relative to xG and Genoa scored -0.47 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Roma registered 15 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); Genoa recorded 9 shots, with 1 on target (shot accuracy: 11.1%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Home (78.8%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
