Moneyball's prediction against the result

Moneyball did not publish a pre-match estimate for this match, so there is nothing to mark it against.

Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 2.28 for Famalicão and 0.29 for Sporting CP.

Famalicão scored about 1.3 fewer than their chances were worth: poor finishing, or a goalkeeper at his best.

Famalicão had 2 shots on target, Sporting CP 5.

Sporting CP had 68% of the ball.

A red card changed the shape of the match, and no pre-match model can see one coming.
