Post-match analysis
Final score, verified match data and the original model prediction.
Villarreal won 2–0 against Getafe. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.
Expected goals were 2.30 for Villarreal and 0.62 for Getafe. Villarreal generated the higher xG total. Villarreal scored -0.30 goals relative to xG and Getafe scored -0.62 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.
Villarreal registered 22 shots, with 7 on target (shot accuracy: 31.8%); Getafe recorded 9 shots, with 1 on target (shot accuracy: 11.1%). 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 (64.1%); the actual outcome was Home, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
