📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Jong Utrecht beat VVV Venlo 0-1 at Covebo Stadion - De Koel, Regular Season - 12, in the Eerste Divisie. 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 VVV Venlo 2.15 xG and Jong Utrecht 0.71 xG, a combined 2.86. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. VVV Venlo fell 2.2 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of VVV Venlo attack 0.93 / defence 0.84 against Jong Utrecht attack 0.61 / defence 1.26, drawn from 49/49 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it VVV Venlo 71% | Draw 18% | Jong Utrecht 11%, with VVV Venlo to win its most likely call at 71%. Instead the game produced a Jong Utrecht win, an outcome the model had rated at just 11% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
