Post-match analysis

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

SV Werder Bremen won 2–0 against TSG Hoffenheim. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.16 for SV Werder Bremen and 1.13 for TSG Hoffenheim. SV Werder Bremen generated the higher xG total. SV Werder Bremen scored +0.84 goals relative to xG and TSG Hoffenheim scored -1.13 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

SV Werder Bremen registered 18 shots, with 4 on target (shot accuracy: 22.2%); TSG Hoffenheim recorded 16 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 12.5%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.

The model's highest-probability 1X2 outcome was Away (39.1%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
