📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

FC St. Pauli beat Holstein Kiel 3-1 at Millerntor-Stadion, Regular Season - 12, 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 FC St. Pauli 0.86 xG and Holstein Kiel 1.09 xG, a combined 1.95. The scoreboard read 3-1 for 4 actual goals. FC St. Pauli beat their projection by 2.1 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of FC St. Pauli attack 0.44 / defence 0.87 against Holstein Kiel attack 0.89 / defence 1.20, drawn from 11/11 games (CurrentSeason).
