📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lokeren-Temse beat RWDM 2-0 at Daknamstadion, Promotion Play-offs - Semi-finals, in the Challenger Pro League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Lokeren-Temse 0.94 xG and RWDM 1.23 xG, a combined 2.17. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Lokeren-Temse beat their projection by 1.1 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. RWDM landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lokeren-Temse attack 0.84 / defence 0.98 against RWDM attack 0.98 / defence 0.82, drawn from 29/29 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lokeren-Temse 28% | Draw 29% | RWDM 43%, with RWDM to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Lokeren-Temse win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 37%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 64% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 43% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lokeren-Temse 41%, RWDM 45%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 40%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lokeren-Temse's trading profile (29 games, 14 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 34% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and duly kept one.

RWDM's trading profile (29 games, 14 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 48% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

RWDM (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.64 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 0.93 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
