📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Genk beat OH Leuven 1-2 at Den Dreef, Regular Season - 4, 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 OH Leuven 1.68 xG and Genk 1.21 xG, a combined 2.89. 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 OH Leuven attack 1.02 / defence 1.07 against Genk attack 1.04 / defence 1.05, drawn from 33/33 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it OH Leuven 46% | Draw 29% | Genk 25%, with OH Leuven to win its most likely call at 46%. Instead the game produced a Genk win, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 81% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 59% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (OH Leuven 35%, Genk 58%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

OH Leuven's trading profile (43 games, 21 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did.

Genk's trading profile (43 games, 21 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Genk arrived the stronger side — 1.91 PPG against 1.07. That form edge translated into the three points. OH Leuven (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
