📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Kortrijk beat RWDM 1-2 at Edmond Machtens Stadium, Regular Season - 7, 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 RWDM 1.81 xG and Kortrijk 1.57 xG, a combined 3.37. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. RWDM fell 0.8 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of RWDM attack 1.49 / defence 1.01 against Kortrijk attack 1.22 / defence 1.05, drawn from 34/6 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it RWDM 43% | Draw 25% | Kortrijk 33%, with RWDM to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Kortrijk win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 66%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 86% and landed. Over 3.5 was 44% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 67% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (RWDM 47%, Kortrijk 64%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

RWDM's trading profile (36 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time, and conceded here.

Kortrijk's trading profile (36 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

On form, RWDM arrived the stronger side — 1.94 PPG against 1.28. Form was overturned, with Kortrijk winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. RWDM (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 0.89 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Kortrijk (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 1.83 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (miss). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
