How It Unfolded

Torino beat Sassuolo 2-1 at Stadio Olimpico di Torino, Regular Season - 36, in the Serie A. 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 Torino 1.52 xG and Sassuolo 1.15 xG, a combined 2.67. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals.

Those figures were built on strength ratings of Torino attack 1.19 / defence 1.16 against Sassuolo attack 0.90 / defence 1.02, drawn from 73/35 games (CurrentSeason).
