The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Genk 1.17 xG and KVC Westerlo 1.10 xG, a combined 2.27. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 39%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 66% and landed.

Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Genk 58%, KVC Westerlo 54%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 59%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Genk (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.62 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. KVC Westerlo (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.41 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.62 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
