📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Francs Borains beat Liège 0-1 at Stade de Rocourt, Regular Season - 21, 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 Liège 1.47 xG and Francs Borains 1.16 xG, a combined 2.63. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Liège fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Liège attack 1.01 / defence 0.87 against Francs Borains attack 0.97 / defence 1.04, drawn from 50/50 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Liège 43% | Draw 27% | Francs Borains 29%, with Liège to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Francs Borains win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 49%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 75% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 62% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Liège 58%, Francs Borains 66%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
