The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Excelsior 1.02 xG and PSV Eindhoven 1.95 xG, a combined 2.98. 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 Excelsior attack 0.67 / defence 0.90 against PSV Eindhoven attack 1.50 / defence 0.91, drawn from 6/40 games (CurrentSeason).
