How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stade Maurice Dufrasne, Regular Season - 17, as Standard Liege and OH Leuven drew 1-1 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 Standard Liege 1.33 xG and OH Leuven 0.73 xG, a combined 2.06. 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 Standard Liege attack 0.76 / defence 0.81 against OH Leuven attack 0.89 / defence 0.97, drawn from 46/46 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Standard Liege 47% | Draw 36% | OH Leuven 17%, with Standard Liege to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 36%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 34%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 65% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 42% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Standard Liege 46%, OH Leuven 45%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
