📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Patro Eisden beat Lokeren-Temse 1-2 at Daknamstadion, Promotion Play-offs - Final, 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 Lokeren-Temse 0.93 xG and Patro Eisden 1.30 xG, a combined 2.23. 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 Lokeren-Temse attack 0.84 / defence 0.99 against Patro Eisden attack 1.02 / defence 0.82, drawn from 29/59 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lokeren-Temse 27% | Draw 28% | Patro Eisden 45%, with Patro Eisden to win its most likely call at 45%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
