How It Unfolded

Akhmat beat Nizhny Novgorod 1-2 at Mordovia Arena, Regular Season - 9, in the Premier League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Nizhny Novgorod 1.72 xG and Akhmat 1.24 xG, a combined 2.96. 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 Nizhny Novgorod attack 1.11 / defence 1.10 against Akhmat attack 0.93 / defence 1.04, drawn from 38/38 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Nizhny Novgorod 47% | Draw 28% | Akhmat 26%, with Nizhny Novgorod to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual Akhmat win had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
