The Model vs The Result

Anderlecht fell 1.4 short of their projected output.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 81% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS.

Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Anderlecht's trading profile (66 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.

Union St. Gilloise's trading profile (66 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Anderlecht 1.85 PPG, Union St. Gilloise 1.97 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Union St. Gilloise win broke the near-deadlock. Anderlecht (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.97 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 0.88 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Union St. Gilloise (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
