How It Unfolded

Arsenal beat Wolves 0-1 at Molineux Stadium, Regular Season - 23, in the Premier 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 Wolves 1.15 xG and Arsenal 2.34 xG, a combined 3.49. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Wolves fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Arsenal landed 1.3 under their projected return.

Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
