The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Jong Utrecht 1.46 xG and Jong Ajax 1.24 xG, a combined 2.70. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals.

Those figures were built on strength ratings of Jong Utrecht attack 0.79 / defence 1.26 against Jong Ajax attack 0.75 / defence 1.14, drawn from 63/64 games (CurrentSeason).
