The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Jeju United FC 1.22 xG and FC Seoul 1.18 xG, a combined 2.39. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. FC Seoul outscored their 1.18 projection by 0.8. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Jeju United FC attack 0.86 / defence 0.90 against FC Seoul attack 1.07 / defence 1.00, drawn from 35/34 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Jeju United FC 33% | Draw 36% | FC Seoul 31%, with the draw its most likely call at 36%. The actual FC Seoul win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Jeju United FC 45%, FC Seoul 47%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

In-Play Signals

FC Seoul controlled the ball (62%). The model had leaned the other way, toward Jeju United FC; yet the team on the ball still took it. FC Seoul shot more often (17 to 10, 5 on target). The game stayed goalless into the break before it came to life. 3 of the 3 goals arrived after the restart.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected. With the decisive goal arriving late, the fixture spent most of its length tracking closer to expectation than the final scoreline suggests.
