📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Rapid Vienna beat Wolfsberger AC 1-2 at Lavanttal-Arena, Regular Season - 4, 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 Wolfsberger AC 1.47 xG and Rapid Vienna 1.26 xG, a combined 2.73. The scoreboard read 1-2 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 Wolfsberger AC attack 1.06 / defence 0.97 against Rapid Vienna attack 1.06 / defence 0.94, drawn from 25/25 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Wolfsberger AC 41% | Draw 27% | Rapid Vienna 32%, with Wolfsberger AC to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual Rapid Vienna win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 51%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 76% and landed.
