📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Anderlecht beat Kortrijk 0-2 at Guldensporenstadion, Regular Season - 22, 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 Kortrijk 0.85 xG and Anderlecht 1.46 xG, a combined 2.32. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Kortrijk fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Kortrijk attack 0.75 / defence 1.15 against Anderlecht attack 1.16 / defence 0.74, drawn from 51/51 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Kortrijk 19% | Draw 33% | Anderlecht 48%, with Anderlecht to win its most likely call at 48%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. 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 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Kortrijk 56%, Anderlecht 61%), 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

Kortrijk's trading profile (59 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 42% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Anderlecht's trading profile (59 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Anderlecht arrived the stronger side — 1.81 PPG against 0.93. That form edge translated into the three points. Kortrijk (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.03 scoring average — below par going forward. Anderlecht (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.14 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 4 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). The numbers read this fixture well — the outcome largely followed the script the data laid out beforehand.
