Post-match analysis

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

SC Telstar won 4–2 against FC Utrecht. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 2.45 for SC Telstar and 1.28 for FC Utrecht. SC Telstar generated the higher xG total. SC Telstar scored +1.55 goals relative to xG and FC Utrecht scored +0.72 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

SC Telstar registered 16 shots, with 7 on target (shot accuracy: 43.8%); FC Utrecht recorded 15 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%). 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 (39.9%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
