📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Beerschot VA beat K. Lierse S.K. 1-0 at Olympisch Stadion, Regular Season - 4, in the Challenger Pro League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Beerschot VA 1.02 xG and K. Lierse S.K. 1.20 xG, a combined 2.22. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. K. Lierse S.K. landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Beerschot VA attack 0.82 / defence 1.09 against K. Lierse S.K. attack 0.91 / defence 0.98, drawn from 3/32 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Beerschot VA 31% | Draw 30% | K. Lierse S.K. 40%, with K. Lierse S.K. to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual Beerschot VA win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 38%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 65% and missed.

Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Beerschot VA 56%, K. Lierse S.K. 53%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
