Computed before kick-off from both sides' season goals and expected goals as of 2026-11-01, through a Dixon-Coles score model, and left as it was.

Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 0.75 for Juventus and 1.10 for Napoli.

Juventus scored about 1.3 more than their chances were worth: clinical finishing, or a goalkeeper having a bad day.

Napoli left about 1.1 goals' worth of chances on the pitch.

Juventus had 4 shots on target, Napoli 1.

Napoli had 51% of the ball, but Juventus took the points.

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