📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Genk beat St. Truiden 1-2 at Daio Wasabi Stayen, Regular Season - 9, in the Jupiler Pro League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting St. Truiden 1.33 xG and Genk 1.24 xG, a combined 2.58. 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 St. Truiden attack 0.97 / defence 1.08 against Genk attack 1.02 / defence 0.98, drawn from 38/38 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it St. Truiden 37% | Draw 31% | Genk 33%, with St. Truiden to win its most likely call at 37%. The actual Genk win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
