📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Genk beat KVC Westerlo 1-2 at Het Kuipje, Regular Season - 23, 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 1.67 xG and Genk 1.51 xG, a combined 3.19. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of KVC Westerlo attack 1.06 / defence 1.14 against Genk attack 1.20 / defence 1.04, drawn from 52/52 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it KVC Westerlo 39% | Draw 29% | Genk 32%, with KVC Westerlo to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual Genk win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 62%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 85% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 66% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 61% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (KVC Westerlo 69%, Genk 53%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

KVC Westerlo's trading profile (62 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did.

Genk's trading profile (62 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result
