📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Bayer Leverkusen beat RB Leipzig 1-3 at Red Bull Arena, Regular Season - 15, 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 RB Leipzig 2.65 xG and Bayer Leverkusen 1.04 xG, a combined 3.69. The scoreboard read 1-3 for 4 actual goals. RB Leipzig fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Bayer Leverkusen outscored their 1.04 projection by 2.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of RB Leipzig attack 1.40 / defence 0.69 against Bayer Leverkusen attack 1.08 / defence 1.14, drawn from 48/48 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it RB Leipzig 71% | Draw 18% | Bayer Leverkusen 12%, with RB Leipzig to win its most likely call at 71%. Instead the game produced a Bayer Leverkusen win, an outcome the model had rated at just 12% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

RB Leipzig's trading profile (48 games, 23 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time, and conceded here.

Bayer Leverkusen's trading profile (48 games, 23 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 67% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

RB Leipzig (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.22 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.13 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Bayer Leverkusen (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 2.09 average — above their attacking norm.
