📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Sparta Rotterdam 1.36 xG and Twente 1.32 xG, a combined 2.68. The scoreboard read 1-5 for 6 actual goals. Twente outscored their 1.32 projection by 3.7. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sparta Rotterdam attack 0.90 / defence 1.16 against Twente attack 0.83 / defence 0.91, drawn from 39/39 games (CurrentSeason).
