Pre-match analysis and preview

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

Wrexham host Wolverhampton in Championship. 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, Wrexham collected 4 points (1 wins, 1 draws and 3 losses). Wolverhampton earned 10 points from 5 matches (3 wins, 1 draws and 1 losses). These are separate recent-form samples, not a forecast of the final score.

At home, Wrexham have 2 wins, 1 draws and 2 losses in their last 5 recorded home matches. On the road, Wolverhampton have 2 wins, 1 draws and 2 losses across 5 away matches.

Where full-quality xG is available, Wrexham average 1.14 xG and 1.00 xGA over 5 recent matches; Wolverhampton average 1.80 xG and 0.89 xGA over 5 matches. xG coverage can be smaller than the recent-results sample.

At the prediction timestamp, the reconstructed league table places Wrexham in position 18 and Wolverhampton in position 4. The table uses matches dated before the prediction timestamp; later backfills cannot be independently excluded.

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.

Wrexham and Wolverhampton drew 1–1. The following review separates the final score from the locked pre-match model forecast.

Expected goals were 1.13 for Wrexham and 1.42 for Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton generated the higher xG total. Wrexham scored -0.13 goals relative to xG and Wolverhampton scored -0.42 relative to xG. Goals minus xG is a descriptive difference, not proof of finishing skill or luck in one match.

Wrexham registered 6 shots, with 3 on target (shot accuracy: 50.0%); Wolverhampton recorded 22 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 22.7%). 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 (42.2%); the actual outcome was Draw, so the leading selection did not match the result. The pre-match probabilities were not recalculated after the fixture.
