📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

VfL Bochum beat Bayern München 2-3 at Allianz Arena, Regular Season - 25, in the Bundesliga. 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 Bayern München 3.54 xG and VfL Bochum 0.79 xG, a combined 4.33. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Bayern München fell 1.5 short of their projected output. VfL Bochum outscored their 0.79 projection by 2.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bayern München attack 1.75 / defence 0.76 against VfL Bochum attack 0.75 / defence 1.26, drawn from 58/58 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Bayern München 87% | Draw 9% | VfL Bochum 4%, with Bayern München to win its most likely call at 87%. Instead the game produced a VfL Bochum win, an outcome the model had rated at just 4% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
