POST-MATCH Preston vs Newcastle
iddaakolik Post-Match Analysis — what we said & what happened

Preston squeezed past Newcastle 3-2. It was 0-2 at half-time, meaning the result turned around in the second half. 5 goals made it one of the day's more open games.

By our pre-match numbers this was an upset: we had Newcastle at 60% and the game still went the other way. Single results are noisy — probabilities earn their keep across thousands of matches, not one. The goals side of the card held up too — over 2.5 goals (56%) came in.

On the day, shots finished 18-12, expected goals 2.19 to 0.84 — an xG gap that size says the one-goal margin undersold Preston's control.
