Moneyball's prediction against the result

The prediction got the result right. Before kick-off Moneyball made a FC Barcelona win the most likely outcome at 82%, and that is what happened, though the most likely score was 2-0 rather than 3-0.

On goals the estimate was close: about 3.7 expected, 3 scored.

Over 2.5 goals had been put at 71%; with 3 goals the over came in, as the estimate leaned.

Both teams to score was 49%; they did not both score, in line with the estimate.

Computed before kick-off from both sides' season goals and expected goals as of 2026-10-09, through a Dixon-Coles score model, and left as it was.

Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 0.17 for FC Barcelona and 2.23 for Getafe.

FC Barcelona scored about 2.8 more than their chances were worth: clinical finishing, or a goalkeeper having a bad day.

Getafe left about 2.2 goals' worth of chances on the pitch.

Getafe created the better chances, 2.23 xG to 0.17, and still lost. On chances alone, the result could easily have gone the other way.

The run of play itself went against the pre-match reading: Moneyball expected FC Barcelona to create more, and Getafe did.

FC Barcelona had 8 shots on target, Getafe 1.

Getafe's goalkeeper made 5 saves.

FC Barcelona had 83% of the ball and turned it into the win.
