📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at DENDER Football Complex, Regular Season - 27, as Dender and Beerschot VA drew 0-0 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 Dender 1.50 xG and Beerschot VA 1.06 xG, a combined 2.55. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Dender fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Beerschot VA landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Dender attack 0.72 / defence 1.15 against Beerschot VA attack 0.82 / defence 1.36, drawn from 26/26 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Dender 45% | Draw 30% | Beerschot VA 25%, with Dender to win its most likely call at 45%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 75% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 53% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Dender 54%, Beerschot VA 59%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Dender's trading profile (56 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and duly kept one.

Beerschot VA's trading profile (56 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Dender 1.52 PPG, Beerschot VA 1.25 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Dender (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.50 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.21 average — tighter than their form line. Beerschot VA (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.29 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.82 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

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