Pre-match analysis and preview

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

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.

St. Mirren won 2–1 against Dundee FC. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.41 for St. Mirren and 1.44 for Dundee FC. Dundee FC generated the higher xG total. St. Mirren scored +0.59 goals relative to xG and Dundee FC scored -0.44 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

St. Mirren registered 9 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 55.6%); Dundee FC recorded 17 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 23.5%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
