Post-match analysis

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

SC Cambuur won 6–1 away to Willem II Tilburg. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.04 for Willem II Tilburg and 1.91 for SC Cambuur. SC Cambuur generated the higher xG total. Willem II Tilburg scored -0.04 goals relative to xG and SC Cambuur scored +4.09 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Willem II Tilburg registered 11 shots, with 2 on target (shot accuracy: 18.2%); SC Cambuur 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 (48.3%); the actual outcome was Away, so the leading selection matched the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
