Our prediction before kickoff
We had Real Sociedad 43% to win, 27% for a draw, Celta 30%. It ended level; we gave a draw 27%. The final margin was 0.3 goals from ours; 73% 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
The goals
No goals: Real Sociedad and Celta drew 0–0, and the replay above is of that scoreline’s chance (62% for Real Sociedad, draws counted half).
About these numbers
Scores and goals from openfootball (public domain). It has no shots, so there is no expected goals for this match and no finishing luck: the replay, the in-game win probability and the luck index are our own models, built from the season’s goals alone (methodology and validation). The luck index is how far the result was from what the goals say.
