📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Red Bull Salzburg beat Lask Linz 1-5 at Raiffeisen Arena, Regular Season - 20, in the Bundesliga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Lask Linz 1.23 xG and Red Bull Salzburg 1.04 xG, a combined 2.27. The scoreboard read 1-5 for 6 actual goals. Red Bull Salzburg outscored their 1.04 projection by 4.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lask Linz attack 1.07 / defence 0.84 against Red Bull Salzburg attack 1.13 / defence 0.86, drawn from 41/41 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lask Linz 40% | Draw 28% | Red Bull Salzburg 31%, with Lask Linz to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual Red Bull Salzburg win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
