📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

SJK beat HJK Helsinki 3-4 at Bolt Arena, Championship Round - 6, in the Veikkausliiga. 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 HJK Helsinki 2.73 xG and SJK 2.04 xG, a combined 4.77. The scoreboard read 3-4 for 7 actual goals. SJK outscored their 2.04 projection by 2.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of HJK Helsinki attack 1.56 / defence 1.05 against SJK attack 1.18 / defence 1.05, drawn from 44/44 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it HJK Helsinki 53% | Draw 19% | SJK 29%, with HJK Helsinki to win its most likely call at 53%. The actual SJK win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

Historically the two sides average 70% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (HJK Helsinki 67%, SJK 74%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 63%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
