📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Club Brugge KV and Anderlecht finished level at 2-2 at Jan Breydel Stadion, Regular Season - 28, 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 Club Brugge KV 2.46 xG and Anderlecht 1.37 xG, a combined 3.83. The scoreboard read 2-2 for 4 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 Club Brugge KV attack 1.38 / defence 1.06 against Anderlecht attack 1.00 / defence 1.38, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Club Brugge KV 61% | Draw 19% | Anderlecht 20%, with Club Brugge KV to win its most likely call at 61%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 19% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 74%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 90% and landed. Over 3.5 was 53% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 69% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Club Brugge KV 58%, Anderlecht 45%), 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

Club Brugge KV's trading profile (67 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and conceded here.

Anderlecht's trading profile (67 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 39% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result
