📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lokeren-Temse beat Francs Borains 1-2 at Stade Robert Urbain, Regular Season - 22, 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 1.37 xG and Lokeren-Temse 1.26 xG, a combined 2.63. 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 Francs Borains attack 0.86 / defence 1.18 against Lokeren-Temse attack 0.78 / defence 1.16, drawn from 51/20 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Francs Borains 39% | Draw 26% | Lokeren-Temse 34%, with Francs Borains to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual Lokeren-Temse win had been the model's second-ranked read at 34%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Lokeren-Temse's trading profile (20 games, 9 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 30% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here.
