📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

VfL Wolfsburg beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-1 at BORUSSIA-PARK, Regular Season - 34, 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 Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.74 xG and VfL Wolfsburg 1.65 xG, a combined 3.39. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Borussia Mönchengladbach fell 1.7 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Borussia Mönchengladbach attack 1.07 / defence 1.19 against VfL Wolfsburg attack 0.94 / defence 1.06, drawn from 67/67 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Borussia Mönchengladbach 40% | Draw 24% | VfL Wolfsburg 36%, with Borussia Mönchengladbach to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual VfL Wolfsburg win had been the model's second-ranked read at 36%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
