📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Patro Eisden beat SK Beveren 1-2 at Freethielstadion, Promotion Play-offs - Semi-finals, in the Challenger Pro League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting SK Beveren 1.29 xG and Patro Eisden 1.21 xG, a combined 2.50. 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 SK Beveren attack 1.17 / defence 0.92 against Patro Eisden attack 1.03 / defence 0.81, drawn from 59/59 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it SK Beveren 38% | Draw 27% | Patro Eisden 35%, with SK Beveren to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Patro Eisden win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 46%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 71% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (SK Beveren 55%, Patro Eisden 53%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

SK Beveren's trading profile (60 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 37% of the time, and conceded here.

Patro Eisden's trading profile (60 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — SK Beveren 1.60 PPG, Patro Eisden 1.72 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Patro Eisden win broke the near-deadlock. SK Beveren (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 1.14 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Patro Eisden (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.17 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
