How It Unfolded

Tranmere beat Bristol Rovers 1-4 at Memorial Stadium, Regular Season - 13, in the League Two. 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 Bristol Rovers 1.41 xG and Tranmere 1.73 xG, a combined 3.14. The scoreboard read 1-4 for 5 actual goals. Tranmere outscored their 1.73 projection by 2.3. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bristol Rovers attack 0.80 / defence 1.20 against Tranmere attack 1.23 / defence 1.32, drawn from 12/57 games (CurrentSeason).
