📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Jong Utrecht beat Jong AZ 1-4 at AFAS Trainingscomplex, Regular Season - 20, in the Eerste Divisie. 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 Jong AZ 1.48 xG and Jong Utrecht 1.40 xG, a combined 2.88. The scoreboard read 1-4 for 5 actual goals. Jong Utrecht outscored their 1.40 projection by 2.6. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Jong AZ attack 0.78 / defence 1.09 against Jong Utrecht attack 0.89 / defence 1.10, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).
