📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Panathinaikos beat PAOK 2-1 at Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium, Regular Season - 10, in the Super League 1. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Panathinaikos 1.23 xG and PAOK 1.45 xG, a combined 2.68. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 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 Panathinaikos attack 1.01 / defence 0.73 against PAOK attack 1.59 / defence 0.84, drawn from 34/35 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Panathinaikos 32% | Draw 26% | PAOK 42%, with PAOK to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual Panathinaikos win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 50%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 75% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Panathinaikos 38%, PAOK 65%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
