What the model expected
Its probabilities for this match, logged before kick-off and never changed. The result is highlighted.
Before kick-off the model favoured Paris Saint Germain to win (57%); it finished with Monaco to win. A miss — it gave the actual result 20% beforehand.
One match tells you nothing on its own — whether these percentages are any good is the whole point of the calibration page, where every one of them is scored.
The brain read
Paris Saint Germain created the better chances — the xG read 2.3–0.5 and the shot count agreed (23–4, 10–2 on target). Paris Saint Germain got into the box far more often (8 shots inside it to 2) and Paris Saint Germain held 68% of the ball. Paris Saint Germain's finishing let them down — 1 from 2.3 xG despite 10 of 23 shots on target (a finishing read inferred from shots on target and goals vs xG — not measured shot placement). The 1–2 flatters Monaco — on chances created, Paris Saint Germain shaded it.
A second opinion written by rule from the numbers on this page — where the shot picture and the xG disagree, it says so rather than picking a winner. Backward-looking only; it claims nothing about any future result.

Consensus of bookmaker prices captured 2026-09-04 19:00 UTC. These are the closing prices — the market’s last word before kick-off. The Move column is how each market’s implied chance has shifted since the first price we captured: green = the chance has risen (the price shortened, backing coming in), red = the chance has fallen (the price eased out — what punters call the price ‘drifting’).
