📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

GO Ahead Eagles beat Feyenoord 2-1 at De Adelaarshorst, Regular Season - 12, in the Eredivisie. 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 GO Ahead Eagles 1.09 xG and Feyenoord 2.06 xG, a combined 3.15. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals.

Those figures were built on strength ratings of GO Ahead Eagles attack 0.93 / defence 0.88 against Feyenoord attack 1.57 / defence 0.68, drawn from 45/45 games (CurrentSeason).
