Pre-match analysis and preview

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

Valencia host Real Madrid in LaLiga. This preview compares historical records dated before the prediction was locked with the model's pre-match probabilities. Probabilities describe estimated outcomes, not guaranteed results.

Across their last 5 recorded league matches, Valencia collected 5 points (1 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses). Real Madrid earned 12 points from 5 matches (4 wins, 0 draws and 1 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

At home, Valencia have 0 wins, 1 draws and 4 losses in their last 5 recorded home matches. On the road, Real Madrid have 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses across 5 away matches.

Where full-quality xG is available, Valencia average 1.34 xG and 1.41 xGA over 5 recent matches; Real Madrid average 1.91 xG and 1.13 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places Valencia in position 19 and Real Madrid in position 3. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

The database contains 5 earlier head-to-head meetings in this competition, shown below. Historical meetings provide context, not certainty.

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.

Real Madrid won 3–0 away to Valencia. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 0.16 for Valencia and 2.26 for Real Madrid. Real Madrid generated the higher xG total. Valencia scored -0.16 goals relative to xG and Real Madrid scored +0.74 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Valencia registered 4 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 50.0%); Real Madrid recorded 19 shots, with 11 on target (shot accuracy: 57.9%). 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 (61.4%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
