Moneyball's prediction against the result

The prediction got the result right. Before kick-off Moneyball made a Napoli win the most likely outcome at 41%, and that is what happened, though the most likely score was 1-1 rather than 3-0.

On goals the estimate was close: about 3.0 expected, 3 scored.

Over 2.5 goals had been put at 57%; with 3 goals the over came in, as the estimate leaned.

Both teams to score was 61%; they did not both score, against 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 1.03 for Napoli and 3.13 for Frosinone.

Napoli scored about 2.0 more than their chances were worth: clinical finishing, or a goalkeeper having a bad day.

Frosinone left about 3.1 goals' worth of chances on the pitch.

Frosinone created the better chances, 3.13 xG to 1.03, 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 Napoli to create more, and Frosinone did.

Napoli had 8 shots on target, Frosinone 1.

Frosinone's goalkeeper made 5 saves.

Napoli had 51% of the ball and turned it into the win.
