📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

OH Leuven beat Dender 0-1 at Dender Football Complex, Regular Season - 5, in the Jupiler Pro League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Dender 1.42 xG and OH Leuven 0.92 xG, a combined 2.34. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Dender fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Dender attack 0.70 / defence 0.96 against OH Leuven attack 0.85 / defence 1.36, drawn from 34/34 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Dender 45% | Draw 34% | OH Leuven 21%, with Dender to win its most likely call at 45%. Instead the game produced a OH Leuven win, an outcome the model had rated at just 21% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 71% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 49% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Dender 52%, OH Leuven 36%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Dender's trading profile (44 games, 22 home) 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.

OH Leuven's trading profile (44 games, 22 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Dender 1.07 PPG, OH Leuven 1.05 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the OH Leuven win broke the near-deadlock. Dender (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.14 scoring average — below par going forward. OH Leuven (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.86 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
