How It Unfolded

Lazio beat Lecce 1-2 at Stadio Ettore Giardiniero - Via del Mare, Regular Season - 17, in the Serie A. 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 Lecce 1.19 xG and Lazio 1.65 xG, a combined 2.84. The scoreboard read 1-2 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 Lecce attack 0.90 / defence 1.14 against Lazio attack 1.08 / defence 1.01, drawn from 54/54 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lecce 28% | Draw 24% | Lazio 48%, with Lazio to win its most likely call at 48%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
