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

What this result changed

Before kick-off the season simulation gave Sassuolo a 8.8% chance to finish in the bottom three: 6.5% after a win, 7.8% after a draw, 10.4% after a defeat. The defeat was the worst of those results for them, and left the figure at 10.4%, 1.6 points higher than before the match.

For Lazio the question was the chance to finish in the top four, 33.5% going in: 38.3% after a win, 31.2% after a draw, 28.3% after a defeat. The win was the best of those results for them, and left the figure at 38.3%, 4.8 points higher than before the match.
