The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Monaco 1.54 xG and Strasbourg 1.03 xG, a combined 2.58. The scoreboard read 3-2 for 5 actual goals. Monaco beat their projection by 1.5 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Strasbourg outscored their 1.03 projection by 1.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Monaco attack 1.26 / defence 0.87 against Strasbourg attack 0.93 / defence 0.78, drawn from 36/36 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Monaco 49% | Draw 25% | Strasbourg 25%, with Monaco to win its most likely call at 49%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 60% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Monaco 64%, Strasbourg 56%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 61%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
