How It Unfolded

Fleetwood Town and Chesterfield finished level at 1-1 at Highbury Stadium, Regular Season - 44, in the League Two. 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 Fleetwood Town 1.14 xG and Chesterfield 1.64 xG, a combined 2.78. 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.
