The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Red Bull Salzburg 1.33 xG and Rapid Vienna 1.02 xG, a combined 2.35. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Red Bull Salzburg fell 1.3 short of their projected output.

On the result, the model split it Red Bull Salzburg 43% | Draw 29% | Rapid Vienna 28%, with Red Bull Salzburg to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Rapid Vienna win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
