Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Nice won 2–1 away to Stade Brestois. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 2.46 for Stade Brestois and 0.47 for Nice. Stade Brestois generated the higher xG total. Stade Brestois scored -1.46 goals relative to xG and Nice scored +1.53 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Stade Brestois registered 13 shots, with 7 on target (shot accuracy: 53.8%); Nice 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 (54.0%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
