Moneyball's prediction against the result

A correct call on the result: 48% for a Norwich City win before the match. The scoreline, 0-4, was not the estimate's first choice (1-2).

On goals the estimate was close: about 3.2 expected, 4 scored.

Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 2.44 for Derby County and 0.69 for Norwich City.

Derby County scored about 2.4 fewer than their chances were worth: poor finishing, or a goalkeeper at his best.

Norwich City made more of their chances than the xG suggests, by about 3.3 goals.

Derby County created the better chances, 2.44 xG to 0.69, 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 Norwich City to create more, and Derby County did.

Derby County had 2 shots on target, Norwich City 8.

Norwich City had 54% of the ball and turned it into the win.
