📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Dender beat KVC Westerlo 1-0 at DENDER Football Complex, Regular Season - 17, 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 1.37 xG and KVC Westerlo 1.43 xG, a combined 2.81. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. KVC Westerlo landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Dender attack 0.79 / defence 1.35 against KVC Westerlo attack 1.02 / defence 1.00, drawn from 16/46 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Dender 32% | Draw 32% | KVC Westerlo 35%, with KVC Westerlo to win its most likely call at 35%. The actual Dender win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

Their combined BTTS history runs at 62%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
