📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lask Linz beat Rapid Vienna 2-1 at Raiffeisen Arena, Regular Season - 19, in the Bundesliga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Lask Linz 1.21 xG and Rapid Vienna 1.21 xG, a combined 2.42. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lask Linz attack 0.90 / defence 1.08 against Rapid Vienna attack 0.93 / defence 0.94, drawn from 40/40 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lask Linz 33% | Draw 35% | Rapid Vienna 33%, with the draw its most likely call at 35%. The actual Lask Linz win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
