📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Antwerp beat KVC Westerlo 2-4 at Het Kuipje, Conference League Group - 35, in the Jupiler Pro League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting KVC Westerlo 0.96 xG and Antwerp 0.95 xG, a combined 1.92. The scoreboard read 2-4 for 6 actual goals. KVC Westerlo beat their projection by 1.0 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Antwerp outscored their 0.95 projection by 3.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of KVC Westerlo attack 0.88 / defence 0.97 against Antwerp attack 0.74 / defence 0.83, drawn from 60/60 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it KVC Westerlo 34% | Draw 32% | Antwerp 34%, with KVC Westerlo to win its most likely call at 34%. The actual Antwerp win had been the model's second-ranked read at 34%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
