Pre-match analysis and preview
Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Roma won 3–0 against Sassuolo. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 3.39 for Roma and 0.24 for Sassuolo. Roma generated the higher xG total. Roma scored -0.39 goals relative to xG and Sassuolo scored -0.24 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Roma registered 28 shots, with 9 on target (shot accuracy: 32.1%); Sassuolo recorded 6 shots, with 1 on target (shot accuracy: 16.7%). 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 (73.0%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
