RAAL La Louvière and Gent finished level at 1-1 at Easi Arena, Regular Season - 23, 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 RAAL La Louvière 0.86 xG and Gent 1.31 xG, a combined 2.17. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 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 RAAL La Louvière attack 0.63 / defence 0.96 against Gent attack 1.15 / defence 1.06, drawn from 22/52 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it RAAL La Louvière 23% | Draw 30% | Gent 46%, with Gent to win its most likely call at 46%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
