Our prediction before kickoff
We had it too close to call, 27% for a draw, Elversberg 34%, Augsburg 38%. Elversberg won, in a match we had too close to call. The final margin was 1.1 goals from ours; 33% of matches like this end further from the forecast than that.
Before kickoff
Most of the distance between a forecast and a final score is luck: even with both clubs’ strength known exactly, a few shots decide a soccer match. This match was played before our forecasts went live, so this one was made afterwards, the same way, from only what was known before kickoff. How our predictions have done
