Post-match analysis

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

Arsenal won 2–1 away to SK Slavia Praha. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 2.23 for SK Slavia Praha and 1.49 for Arsenal. SK Slavia Praha generated the higher xG total. SK Slavia Praha scored -1.23 goals relative to xG and Arsenal scored +0.51 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

SK Slavia Praha registered 18 shots, with 6 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); Arsenal recorded 12 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 41.7%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Away (65.8%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
