The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Eintracht Braunschweig 1.21 xG and FC Schalke 04 1.66 xG, a combined 2.88. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Eintracht Braunschweig fell 1.2 short of their projected output. FC Schalke 04 landed 1.7 under their projected return.
