📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Accrington ST beat Crewe 0-1 at Mornflake Stadium, Regular Season - 28, 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 Crewe 2.10 xG and Accrington ST 1.25 xG, a combined 3.35. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Crewe fell 2.1 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Crewe attack 1.24 / defence 0.92 against Accrington ST attack 1.17 / defence 1.29, drawn from 72/70 games (CurrentSeason).

Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
