📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Larisa and Asteras Tripolis finished level at 1-1 at AEL FC Arena, Relegation Group - 7, in the Super League 1. 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 Larisa 1.22 xG and Asteras Tripolis 1.04 xG, a combined 2.26. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Larisa attack 0.78 / defence 1.25 against Asteras Tripolis attack 0.78 / defence 1.19, drawn from 26/52 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Larisa 38% | Draw 33% | Asteras Tripolis 29%, with Larisa to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets
