The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting K. Lierse S.K. 1.46 xG and Kortrijk 1.32 xG, a combined 2.79. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. K. Lierse S.K. fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Kortrijk landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of K.

On the result, the model split it K. Lierse S.K. 41% | Draw 25% | Kortrijk 34%, with K. Lierse S.K. to win its most likely call at 41%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 53%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 77% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 53% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (K. Lierse S.K. 47%, Kortrijk 60%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

K. Lierse S.K.'s trading profile (45 games, 23 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Kortrijk's trading profile (45 games, 23 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — K. Lierse S.K. 1.38 PPG, Kortrijk 1.51 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. K. Lierse S.K. (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.57 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.13 average — tighter than their form line. Kortrijk (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.43 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.74 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
