📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Francs Borains beat KAA Gent II 2-0 at Stade Robert Urbain, Regular Season - 11, in the Challenger Pro League. 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 Francs Borains 1.20 xG and KAA Gent II 1.68 xG, a combined 2.88. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Francs Borains beat their projection by 0.8 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. KAA Gent II landed 1.7 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Francs Borains attack 0.94 / defence 1.02 against KAA Gent II attack 1.18 / defence 1.03, drawn from 38/9 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Francs Borains 26% | Draw 26% | KAA Gent II 48%, with KAA Gent II to win its most likely call at 48%. The actual Francs Borains win had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 79% and landed.

Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Francs Borains 44%, KAA Gent II 44%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 39%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Francs Borains's trading profile (9 games, 4 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.

KAA Gent II's trading profile (9 games, 4 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 33% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 44% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

KAA Gent II (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.50 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
