📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Genk beat Beerschot VA 1-0 at Cegeka Arena, Regular Season - 24, 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 Genk 2.87 xG and Beerschot VA 0.66 xG, a combined 3.53. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Genk fell 1.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Genk attack 1.31 / defence 0.78 against Beerschot VA attack 0.77 / defence 1.44, drawn from 53/23 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Genk 81% | Draw 15% | Beerschot VA 4%, with Genk to win its most likely call at 81%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 68%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 88% and missed. Over 3.5 was 47% and did not. 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 59% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Genk 58%, Beerschot VA 60%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Genk's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% 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 (53 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Genk arrived the stronger side — 1.75 PPG against 1.30. Form held, and they took the win. Genk (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.81 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.85 average — tighter than their form line. Beerschot VA (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.31 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 1 against a 1.81 average — tighter than their form line.
