📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Genk beat St. Truiden 1-0 at Cegeka Arena, Regular Season - 29, 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 Genk 1.26 xG and St. Truiden 1.77 xG, a combined 3.04. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. St. Truiden landed 1.8 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Genk attack 1.08 / defence 1.05 against St. Truiden attack 1.31 / defence 0.91, drawn from 58/58 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Genk 27% | Draw 24% | St. Truiden 49%, with St. Truiden to win its most likely call at 49%. The actual Genk win had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
