How It Unfolded

Atalanta beat Cremonese 2-1 at New Balance Arena, Regular Season - 24, in the Serie A. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Atalanta 1.73 xG and Cremonese 0.51 xG, a combined 2.24. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals.
