The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Den Bosch 1.72 xG and FC Eindhoven 1.24 xG, a combined 2.96. 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 Den Bosch attack 0.95 / defence 0.99 against FC Eindhoven attack 0.84 / defence 1.03, drawn from 64/63 games (CurrentSeason).
