Pre-match analysis and preview

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

Sevilla host Deportivo Alavés in LaLiga. 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, Sevilla collected 7 points (2 wins, 1 draws and 2 losses). Deportivo Alavés earned 3 points from 5 matches (0 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

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

Where full-quality xG is available, Sevilla average 1.04 xG and 1.69 xGA over 5 recent matches; Deportivo Alavés average 1.02 xG and 1.24 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places Sevilla in position 6 and Deportivo Alavés in position 7. 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.

Sevilla and Deportivo Alavés drew 0–0. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.58 for Sevilla and 0.54 for Deportivo Alavés. Sevilla generated the higher xG total. Sevilla scored -1.58 goals relative to xG and Deportivo Alavés scored -0.54 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Sevilla registered 13 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 23.1%); Deportivo Alavés recorded 9 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 22.2%). 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 (40.1%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
