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

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.
