The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Boavista 0.79 xG and Farense 1.01 xG, a combined 1.80. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 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 Boavista attack 0.58 / defence 1.25 against Farense attack 0.74 / defence 0.97, drawn from 46/46 games (CurrentSeason).
