Goals against chances

Aston Villa1 from 1.87 xGless than the chances were worth
Fulham1 from 2.26 xGless than the chances were worth

Expected goals totals what the openings were worth, so the gap between it and the score is the finishing — and the luck. Under half a goal either way is called level: xG is an estimate and a smaller gap than that is inside its own error.

The result against the call

Aston Villa and Fulham drew 1–1. The model had leaned towards a win for Aston Villa at 51% and given a draw 26%. At that figure it expects the outcome about once in every 4 matches like this one. The goals: Nicolas Jackson 39' for Aston Villa, Zion Suzuki (own goal) 64' for Fulham. On expected goals it finished 1.87–2.26.

What this result changed

Before kick-off the season simulation gave Aston Villa a 23.3% chance to finish in the top four: 26.2% after a win, 20.1% after a draw, 16.9% after a defeat. The draw was the middle one of the three, and left the figure at 20.1%, 3.2 points lower than before the match.

For Fulham the question was the chance to finish in the bottom three, 21.2% going in: 14.4% after a win, 19.9% after a draw, 23.7% after a defeat. The draw was the middle one of the three, and left the figure at 19.9%, 1.3 points lower than before the match.

Read from our Premier League season simulation as it stood before this match (10,000 runs), counting this result alone. Every result since then has moved the table again, so today's figure is on the competition page.
