📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lecce beat Cremonese 2-1 at Stadio Via del Mare, Regular Season - 28, 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 Lecce 1.10 xG and Cremonese 0.76 xG, a combined 1.86. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals.
