📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Charleroi beat Standard Liege 1-0 at Stade du Pays de Charleroi, Conference League Play-off Group - 2, in the Jupiler 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 Charleroi 1.43 xG and Standard Liege 0.89 xG, a combined 2.31. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Standard Liege landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Charleroi attack 0.89 / defence 0.91 against Standard Liege attack 0.88 / defence 1.09, drawn from 60/60 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Charleroi 48% | Draw 31% | Standard Liege 21%, with Charleroi to win its most likely call at 48%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 69% 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 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Charleroi 42%, Standard Liege 48%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Charleroi's trading profile (67 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not.

Standard Liege's trading profile (67 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 37% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Charleroi 1.24 PPG, Standard Liege 1.16 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Charleroi win broke the near-deadlock. Charleroi (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.09 average — tighter than their form line. Standard Liege (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.03 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 1 against a 2.09 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
