Before Sampdoria drew with Sassuolo 2–2, the SharpXI model made 14 confident calls on the player markets and 12 landed — the strongest being Bram Nuytinck for 1+ tackles (97%, had 1). Its clearest miss: Domenico Berardi for 1+ fouls drawn (94%, had 0). Every probability here was published before kick-off, priced the same way as every other fixture — one game is noise, not a verdict.

Frequently asked
How did the SharpXI model do on Sampdoria v Sassuolo?
12 of its 14 most-confident calls landed. The board on this page lists every one with the model's pre-kickoff probability next to what actually happened, hits and misses in the same table.
What did the model get wrong on Sampdoria v Sassuolo?
The most confident call it got wrong was Domenico Berardi at 94% for fouls drawn — shown in the same table as the hits, marked with a cross. A record that hides its misses isn't a record, so we don't.
Are these probabilities hindsight?
No. Each one is the number the model produced from data available before kick-off, using the same settings as every other fixture on the site — nothing was refitted after the result. That is the only way a per-match report means anything.
Does one match tell you if the model is any good in the Serie A?
No, and we'd rather say so. A single fixture is a handful of calls and mostly noise; the season-long, market-by-market record — including the markets that fail to beat a naive guess — is on the track record page.
