📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Vitesse beat VVV Venlo 1-2 at Covebo Stadion - De Koel, Regular Season - 14, 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 VVV Venlo 1.61 xG and Vitesse 1.51 xG, a combined 3.12. The scoreboard read 1-2 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 VVV Venlo attack 0.84 / defence 0.87 against Vitesse attack 1.26 / defence 1.07, drawn from 51/49 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it VVV Venlo 40% | Draw 24% | Vitesse 36%, with VVV Venlo to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual Vitesse win had been the model's second-ranked read at 36%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
