📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Freethielstadion, Regular Season - 17, as SK Beveren and RAAL La Louvière drew 0-0 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 SK Beveren 1.34 xG and RAAL La Louvière 1.00 xG, a combined 2.34. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. SK Beveren fell 1.3 short of their projected output. RAAL La Louvière landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of SK Beveren attack 0.94 / defence 0.70 against RAAL La Louvière attack 1.03 / defence 0.99, drawn from 46/16 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it SK Beveren 44% | Draw 28% | RAAL La Louvière 28%, with SK Beveren to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual draw 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 42%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 68% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 47% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (SK Beveren 38%, RAAL La Louvière 50%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

SK Beveren's trading profile (16 games, 8 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 31% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 44% of games, a blank that repeated today.

RAAL La Louvière's trading profile (16 games, 8 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, RAAL La Louvière arrived the stronger side — 2.25 PPG against 1.44. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. SK Beveren (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.38 scoring average — below par going forward. RAAL La Louvière (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.75 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.12 average — tighter than their form line.
