Post-match analysis

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

Stade Rennais won 3–0 against RC Strasbourg. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.59 for Stade Rennais and 0.87 for RC Strasbourg. Stade Rennais generated the higher xG total. Stade Rennais scored +1.41 goals relative to xG and RC Strasbourg scored -0.87 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 5 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%); RC Strasbourg recorded 12 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 33.3%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
