📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Daejeon Citizen beat Daegu FC 2-1 at Daejeon World Cup Stadium, Regular Season - 15, in the K League 1. 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 Daejeon Citizen 1.37 xG and Daegu FC 1.00 xG, a combined 2.37. The scoreboard read 2-1 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 Daejeon Citizen attack 0.87 / defence 0.93 against Daegu FC attack 1.03 / defence 1.38, drawn from 48/47 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Daejeon Citizen 45% | Draw 27% | Daegu FC 27%, with Daejeon Citizen to win its most likely call at 45%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Daejeon Citizen 49%, Daegu FC 45%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
