Pre-match analysis and preview
Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

Across their last 5 recorded league matches, Stade Rennais collected 6 points (2 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses). Lille earned 8 points from 5 matches (2 wins, 2 draws and 1 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

Where full-quality xG is available, Stade Rennais average 2.23 xG and 2.75 xGA over 4 recent matches; Lille average 1.47 xG and 1.19 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.
At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places Stade Rennais in position 5 and Lille in position 1. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Lille won 2–1 away to Stade Rennais. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 1.50 for Stade Rennais and 0.38 for Lille. Stade Rennais generated the higher xG total. Stade Rennais scored -0.50 goals relative to xG and Lille scored +1.62 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Stade Rennais registered 15 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 13.3%); Lille recorded 8 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 37.5%). 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 (45.6%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
