Post-match analysis

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

Willem II Tilburg and PEC Zwolle drew 1–1. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 0.73 for Willem II Tilburg and 0.79 for PEC Zwolle. PEC Zwolle generated the higher xG total. Willem II Tilburg scored +0.27 goals relative to xG and PEC Zwolle scored +0.21 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Willem II Tilburg registered 13 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 38.5%); PEC Zwolle recorded 14 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 14.3%). 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 (42.1%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
